VI.  Instruction

Instruction is the process of delivering the school’s curriculum to students.  Instruction helps students learn and enables them to develop and meaningfully use concepts and skills.  Instruction also fosters the development of attitudes, understandings, values, and beliefs by students.  Instruction is the establishment of an environment, the accessibility to resources, and the facilitation of experiences that support all learners in constructing and exhibiting knowledge.  

Instructional materials, equipment, and community resources are selected to support the curriculum and the instructional process.  A variety of print and non-print manipulative materials and technology is provided to accommodate individual differences in students.
