Recent areas of focus include design thinking (by students and faculty), technology integration (we are 1:1 in grades 2-5), enhancing mathematics instruction (through the adoption of Singapore Math- Math in Focus and other means), the introduction of a new phonics program, and integrating the teaching of non-cognitive skills (flexibility, empathy, optimism, perseverance) into the curriculum.
