Professional Learning
In Ferndale, professional learning is about strengthening the academic, emotional, and personal growth of the student and teacher. We focus on four core areas of improvement: High-Quality Instruction, School Culture, Intervention and Enrichment, and Assessment and Results.
Ferndale Schools constantly strives to enhance and improve our instructional practices so that students are engaged and successful. We implement research-based techniques that we know will enhance our students' knowledge and understanding.
|
As educators, we know that a positive school culture can make a student's educational experience richer and more meaningful. That's why we provide support to our teachers and administrators on how to create a culture of learning and empathy.
|
Whether it's by providing extra help or an extra challenge, teachers find ways to to help each student succeed in his or her own individual way. Ferndale Schools strives to make sure that students are taught as individual humans with their own unique set of strengths.
|
Ferndale works hard to make sure that our students are prepared for state assessments and college entrance exams. We also perform and perfect internal checkpoints and formative assessment practices that teachers use in order to adjust and inform instruction.
