Improvement of Student Learning Sample Clauses

Improvement of Student Learning. Multiple learning opportunities will be afforded to RHPCS students. Some are familiar, some are novel, but all strive to make learning relevant and purposeful and to actively engage the learner. Problem-solving groups apply knowledge they have acquired and practice new skills by tackling both real-world problems and problems simulated to model the current work world. For example, the school’s requirement for students to perform genuine community service not only informs students about real needs our community has, but also encourages them as a group to decide which needs they can reasonably address, plan an approach, implement the plan, and then evaluate the result. Peer teaching, when appropriate, provides an opportunity for learners to become educators and reinforce their own knowledge and mastery of new skills through presentation of their own work and through working with a “learning buddy.” Projects will include a balance of individual effort and group collaboration to ensure mastery of important basic skills, content, and interaction skills.
