Priority 2

Instruct with focus on Intentionally Designed Learning

Instruction will use the elements of Intentional Design that focus on clarity, challenge, and relationships and includes meaningful student feedback about both mastery and participation throughout the learning process.

October 2024 Priority Review by SCAP Reviewers

Strategic Priority 2Instruct with focus on Intentionally Designed Learning
Why is this importantStudent performance in most subjects as evidenced by the BV Essentials, state tests and other measures has indicated some growth but still gaps in reaching benchmarks. Ensuring the 8 elements of Intentional Design are systematically and consistently implemented in all classrooms is important to ensure individual students meet their appropriate level of challenge. Assessment with ongoing feedback is proven to support such growth.
