School Processes & Programs

School Processes & Programs Summary

SWHS is working to look at the scope and sequence, units, and assessments and ensure they are aligned to the standards for all tested subject and grade areas. Assessments aligned to state standards and the appropriate level of rigor are administered at least three to four times per year to determine if students learned what was taught. Time for corrective instruction is built into the scope and sequence. Instructional materials with key ideas, essential questions, and recommended materials, including content-rich texts, are used across classrooms. The instructional materials include resources intentionally designed to meet the needs of students with disabilities and English learners among other student groups. SWHS will implement high fidelity professional development calendars for teachers that provide introductory and ongoing content-focused, job-embedded training linked to high-quality curricular resources for early childhood through grade 12, in all core subjects.
