Spotlight on Excellence 

 

Superintendent Jennifer Frentress introduced Principals Theresa Fox (Mariposa) and Mindy Shelton (Arroyo) who shared a presentation about SCSD’s unique Upper Elementary structure and cornerstones of the program, and their Teacher's implementation of Project Based Learning (PBL). PBL is a teaching method that builds many skills in the Learner Profile including problem solving, collaboration, communication and ownership. PBL also fosters teacher collaboration around standards-based instruction.
