  7. Differentiating Instruction *activities are created to address individual learning abilities *some are independent, partner, or group format *Every learner is different * It is not the QUANTITY but the QUALITY . Work is tailored to meet the need of each learner.

  8. Grading and Correcting- Class work / Homework Instead of letter grades, students receive marks that show how well they have mastered each skill addressed in the Massachusetts Frameworks. The marks we are using are Beginning (B), Developing (D), Approaching (A), and Proficient (P). Class work, homework, class observations and participation, quizzes, and tests all help in calculating their grades. A standards based report card consists of a list of skills that students should learn in a specific grade level. Please visit the Duxbury Public Schools website for additional information.

  10. Learning is a Journey “Learning is a journey, not a race. It is not a hurried trip through which we run so quickly, that we lose sight of what is important. Rather, we move at a comfortable rate: one that feels right for each and every individual.”

  11. We look forward to a WONDERFUL Year TOGETHER!!!!
