Science & Wellness Department

All at-risk students will succeed with equitable access and opportunity. Excellence in science education embodies the ideal that all students can understand and engage in science when they are given the opportunity. This is achieved by using quantitative and qualitative data to drive decisions as we support district campuses.

Our Tier I instruction will yield on or above grade level achievement. Effective instruction in science includes opportunities to engage in phenomena-based, hands-on, and minds-on activities that develop a deep sense of curiosity while solving real-world problems. Effective instruction in science also fosters a rich learning environment in which students work together as active learners.

We are committed to continually pursuing excellence. Our goals for school science are to educate students who are able to use appropriate scientific processes and principles in making personal decisions; engage intelligently in public discourse, and debate about matters of scientific and technological concern. This is achieved by building strong collaboration with multiple stakeholders in order to meet the needs of ALL students.
