Our administrative team kicked off the school year working with Chris Jones to sharpen our focus on high-quality instruction. Together, we explored two essential questions: Can we tell what the lesson was designed to achieve? Can we tell for whom it was working and for whom it was not? This work helps ensure every Eagle receives the learning experience they deserve.
