Professional Learning Time
FirstLine aims to prepare all of its students for college and fulfilling careers. This requires building the skillfulness of our teaching staff, so we make professional development a priority. Professional Learning Time is a weekly opportunity for teachers to convene by subject area and grade level to innovate, collaborate and rehearse lessons, improving their practice in order to create rigorous and engaging classes for our students.
Personalized Learning Project
Our Personalized Learning Project aims to improve student achievement through individualized instruction using new technologies. Students spend up to 20% of their school day learning at their own pace and focusing on their particular needs in small groups and on computers. Personalized learning provides teachers with ongoing assessment information on each student so that they can respond to specific learning needs.
