POLICY

Instructional Approach

It is the policy of the Board that instruction will be aligned with the goals and mission of the school district/schools and the rules of the New Hampshire Department of Education.

Instruction will be focused on meeting the instructional needs of students with different abilities, talents, interests, and development.

The instructional program will include:

1. Procedures for diagnosing learner needs;

2. Methods and strategies for teaching that incorporate learner needs;

3. Resource-based learning opportunities;

4. Techniques for the evaluation of student outcomes;

5. The provision of remedial instruction as needed.

All instruction will reflect the acknowledgement of diversity and respect for differences.

Instruction will also include, where possible, consideration of all available community resources, including but not limited to organizations, businesses, talented individuals, natural resources, and technology to engage each student in achieving the necessary skill and knowledge.

Students will be encouraged to participate in year-round learning.
