Common Core Standards"The Common Core is a set of high-quality academic standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA). These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade. The standards were created to ensure that all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career, and life, regardless of where they live."

Workshop ModelThe workshop model is a structure that includes direct instruction, guided and independent practice, and a time to debrief. It creates an environment where students take ownership of their learning. It places emphasis on the process as well as the product, which helps students develop skills such as goal-setting and reflection.
