At Silver Wing Elementary, teachers in every classroom emphasize a high level of academic rigor to be attained by every student. This emphasis has been supported by school-wide efforts to help every teacher grow, learn, and succeed. While the school district is a major source of support, Silver Wing teachers have learned to support each other in developing, implementing, and refining strategies that will enable students to understand challenging concepts and master difficult skills. Silver Wing leaders emphasize how the school’s Professional Learning Community (PLC) has been a powerful tool for elevating rigor and helping teachers ensure that all students develop deep levels of understanding and mastery. School leaders help empower teachers to lead and support each other. As well, leaders have utilized peer observations, learning cycles, and other strategies to maximize the focus on getting all students to understand and master rigorous content.
