Team Description:

Alpha is a fifth and sixth grade team of approximately 110 students and six teachers who cooperate, collaborate, and learn together in a meaningful community. Alpha provides a rich, project based curriculum, and topics alternate every year. Our goal is to enable each member of the Alpha Team community to develop his/her potential, self-respect, confidence, independence, values, responsibility and community participation. We accomplish this by:
 

·         Maintaining a shared vision among all of us, students, parents and teachers.

·         Creating a spirit of community among students, parents and staff.

·         Providing learning opportunities that are developmentally appropriate and meet the needs of individual members.

·         Developing and implementing an integrated program that is interdisciplinary, project oriented and standards driven.

·         Creating educational experiences that are rich in content.

·         Having students demonstrate their learning in more than one way, including project work, presentations, journals, writing, technology, and discussion.

·         Using technology as an integral part of the learning process.

·         Evaluating ourselves and the program continuously for improvement.

Student performance reporting

•  We assess and document student growth in a continuous and systematic manner using standards based rubrics and personal conferencing.
• We report student progress in a variety of ways including: student portfolios, student-led conferences, showcases, IPODs and interim report cards, as well as formal report cards twice annually.
