IBS ensures that diverse learners all have the opportunity
to learn challenging content and achieve at high levels
because we are aware of their individual needs. We seek
to provide an individualized approach to their learner
needs. Whenever possible, we seek to maintain their
participation in the regular classroom.
Using a unique team approach, our well-trained teaching
staff work together to make plans that meet the IBS
curriculum objectives. In a collaborative effort they focus
on process writing, skills, information seeking strategies.
Students add to the skills learned in the media center by
using internet searching and word processing. A multimedia
production center, set up in the conference room, gives all
students an opportunity to use CD’s, Power Point, and
computers as a part of the curriculum.
Believing in continuous improvement, our teachers strive to
improve each day by sharing ideas, reading professional
materials and implementing new teaching strategies.
However, we also offer school based in service and
opportunities to attend professional conferences. There
have been several outstanding workshops for teachers
every year which have dealt with best teaching practices.
Our school uses staff evaluations, the results of student assessment, and school review to make decisions on how well we are succeeding and how to do better.
Teacher professional development has improved teaching at our school by providing us with the best practices of successful educators as well as the results of brain based research which improve learning. Workshops on Strategies, Cooperative Learning, the Eight Multiple Intelligences, Responsibility Training, and on going training in technology have completely changed teaching and learning from what it was ten years ago. Professional development is the key to success with teachers as learners.
