Oakridge in 2013
Since Oakridge received an Ed Tech Grant for the 2004-2005 school year, teachers and staff have been re-thinking how to effectively deliver curriculum in their classroom.
While our district continues to address the traits of an effective "Classroom of 2013," teachers are beginning to embrace and apply additional strategies that will lead their teaching in a direction that better meets the needs of students and makes the learning process a more meaningful experience.
Currently, areas teachers are focusing on are:
* project based learning to connect learning with life experiences.
* electronic means of teaching will facilitate collaboration.
* cross curricular learning. i.e. writing instruction in non-Language Arts classes
As teachers become more familiar and comfortable with the technology placed before them, our students will only benefit as our district strives to implement a more student-centered learning environment.
