We believe that the content of a curriculum plays a critical role in student learning, and this content must not only be standards-aligned but also rich in a way that engages all students in multiple layers of understanding.

We believe that providing students with opportunities to communicate and discuss their thinking improves student understanding, provides teachers with useful information to inform instruction, and shifts power away from teachers being the possessors of knowledge to students being the constructors of it.

We believe that learning is a process and must be valued in classrooms.

We believe that monitoring student progress through various kinds of assessment is an integral part of a curriculum that informs teachers' instructional decisions and students' metacognition. .
