Irwin Jacobs Elementary
THEORY OF ACTION
We believe…
If 21st century instructional personnel value the worth and capacity of each child in their classroom to achieve educational growth and are committed to applying learned strategies from effective differentiated and tiered instructional practices...
Then successful students will be able to effectively communicate knowledge and ideas through critical and collaborative thinking skills while maintaining a positive relationship with others and self as they make decisions for their career or college pathway.
VISION
We see a school where educators are equipped and empowered to provide authentic personalized instruction for each student to meet or exceed grade level expectations.
