MSD's Guiding Principles
Human Relationships are (Still) Central.
Virtual Learning Means Balancing Tech, Low-Tech, and No-Tech.
Learning is Accessible Throughout the Day.
We Will Build on What We Already Know.
We Must Shift Our Learning Priorities. The goal is quality of learning opportunities--prioritizing essential core skills, knowledge and content mastery, and student engagement.
Clarity in Learning Goals and Directions is Paramount.
Timely Feedback, Self-Reflection and Goal-Setting Enable Growth.
