Values Aligned: Moving Forward |
|
2021 brought about many unprecedented challenges for Florida educators, leading many to adopt innovative instructional models that may change the future of education as we know it. We saw instructors and administrators rise to new challenges by increasing pedagogy, participating in actionable professional development and implementing Universal Design for Learning to all students. In doing so, values, priorities and outcomes aligned to increased morale and overall student engagement goals. As a unit, our focus is to increase student achievement by the systematic alignment of technology, policies, and curriculum through a multi-tiered system of supports in a universal education model. Below you will find resources to support students and staff in hopes of enhancing your community of practice. |
