At Murray Hill Academy, we believe…
All students learn in different ways and at different paces.
Feedback should be at the center of grading to support student learning.
The most effective and the most meaningful student learning happens when teachers design the right student friendly learning targets (derived from standards) for a day’s lesson and use it along with their students to aim and assess understanding.
Our school wide practices reflect these beliefs.
At Murray Hill Academy, we…
Ensure a student centered approach with clear communication of expectations that empower students to take ownership of their learning with daily learning targets.
Prioritize assessments in the form of self-reflection, peer feedback, and teacher feedback aligned to standards based rubrics in order for all students to continuously monitor their own learning throughout the learning process.
