Our Instructional Focus:
If teachers provide engaging rigorous opportunities for tiered groups then students will have the chance to justify their thinking through a range of strategies and discussion techniques. (Engaging Students in Learning (3c) and Questioning and Discussion Techniques (3b))
MISSION STATEMENT
Our mission at The STEAM Bridge School is to ensure that ALL our students are provided with a foundation for rigorous, engaging education through collaborative discussion and inquiry based learning that will develop international minded learners.
VISION
We believe and inspire to create an educational atmosphere for ALL students to engage in curricula that embeds discourse, multi-facet engagement, differentiated instruction, and rigorous opportunities within the learning.
Discourse – Having significant communication skills is critical, valuable in the workplace and in our lives. Having collaborative discussion will allow our students to work together on existing and new ideas/inquiry, which will provide opportunities for input and feedback. As a result, our students will assume shared responsibilities and contribute to accomplishing common goals in meaningful and respectful ways.
Multi-Facet Engagement- Students show their thinking and learning in a creative and expressive manner. The teacher plays the role of a facilitator as students take ownership of their learning. Students use accountable talk, academic vocabulary, to challenge one another’s thinking. Through daily problem solving, synthesizing of information and exploration, students will experience learning in new and remarkable ways.
Differentiated instruction – Each student has a unique learning style and interest. We provide students with varying avenues and opportunities for learning. Through continuous data driven instruction, we address various learning needs and develop personalized instruction so that ALL students can learn effectively.
Rigorous Opportunities – By providing a set of intentionally aligned components, we create learning outcomes that offer engaging experiences and instructional strategies into an organized sequential unit of study. This serves as a road map to high quality teaching and learning.
