Philosophy

A framework for instruction and intervention is a tool for schools and teachers to make sure all students get the help they need in the classroom with the correct supports. It ensures every student receives solid teaching, while guiding practice to provide extra support for those who need it. Teachers use universal strategies that benefit most students and help create a stable learning environment. The teachers at Dr. Robert Plaxton established these areas to create a strong core instruction in literacy and numeracy. They implement many of these routines and directions consistently throughout their literacy and numeracy blocks. This is important for students because it gives them the consistency needed to be confident and independent learners. Our framework is based off of our Division's pyramid of intervention.

If you have questions about how this is implemented in your child's classroom, please contact your child's teacher, or the school office.

LEARNING COMMONS

Our Learning Commons is a modern form of a school library.  It provides a flexible environment to learn and access to traditional print information as well as a variety of other media and devices.  It is also an agile and responsive learning and teaching environment available to individuals and groups to use for multiple, often simultaneous, purposes.  The Learning Commons is also connected in function and design to the Makerspace.

MAKERSPACE

What is makerspace?  A makerspace is "a place and time for students to create, tinker, learn how to do something new, be challenged, have fun, explore, problem solve, imagine, build, draw, write, make, work with their hands, think critically, be persistent, make real world connections and use technology.  It is a very fluid space and no two are exactly alike" (Makerspaces in Schools, 2018).

Our Learning Commons hosts a Makerspace that is:

• student centered
• curriculum embedded and connected
• focused on self-directed learning
• enhances with technology and tools
