Replicable Practices

• School has developed collective team commitments around goals, essential standards, common assessments, and professional learning.

• Creekview Ranch has developed a multiple-tier support system including “Raptor Time” four days per week embedded in the school day to offer additional support and enrichment opportunities.

• Students benefit from full inclusion in language arts and mathematics supported by a strong co-teaching model.

• Weekly PLC meetings focus on reading and writing standards across the curriculum.

• Exploratory classes incorporate language, math, and science concepts through technology career research and Project Lead the Way (robotics, design and modeling, medical detectives, and computer science).

• All classrooms have daily student-friendly learning objectives posted for student reference.

• All teachers are trained in Guided Language Acquisition by Design (GLAD) which supports instruction for all students particularly mainstreamed EL students.

• Students in seventh-grade science participate in a “20% Project” where they choose what they want to research and create their projects encouraging choice, learning, designing, reflecting, modifying, and presenting.

• Technology is integrated in all subject areas and students use Google Suites, video production, robots, drones, 3-D printers, and internet research in all core classes.
