we have in our classrooms. This is also clear within educational research – the most important and influential factor affecting student learning is the teacher. Therefore, we have clearly defined the research-based indicators of high-quality, bell-to-bell instruction in our classroom observation indicators, and will continue to support our teachers to deliver effective instruction in their classrooms. We are blessed to have amazing teachers at CPA, and our academic leadership team and instructional coaches are committed to continuing to onboard, support, and develop top tier teachers to deliver biblically faithful, highly effective instruction to all CPA students.
Curriculum – A Guaranteed & Viable Curriculum
In order to fully implement this framework, we must first answer the question, what do we want students to know and be able to do within each lesson and unit of instruction across campus? Therefore, we will continue to ensure our curriculum for every grade level and course is rooted in a Biblical, Christ-centered worldview and aligned with the most innovative and rigorous standards of learning. Our departmental teams will continue to develop and improve our curriculum scope and sequence guides outlining our essential learning standards, as well as our aligned learning targets and goals for each grade level and course. Our fully developed curriculum guides, anchored in a Biblical, Christ-centered worldview, will help ensure a biblically faithful and highly effective education for all CPA students.
Support – Intentional Monitoring & Targeted Support for All Students
As we seek to intentionally monitor the learning and progress of each student within our common, formative assessment model, we will focus on providing targeted, timely, and data driven support and enrichment to maximize student learning unit by unit. Moving into next year, our academic leadership team is committed to refining these practices to provide each student intentional feedback and support through weekly classroom instruction, Lion Time, and Office Hours. A more robust system of intentional monitoring of student learning and providing targeted support and enrichment will help us grow in our ability to provide a biblically faithful and highly effective education for all CPA students.
To state plainly, we want to continue to hire top-tier teachers who are committed to growth and improvement in the art and science of teaching, who have a passion for integrating course material with a Biblical, Christ centered worldview, and whose heart is for the discipleship and spiritual formation of our students. We trust the Lord to continue to be at work across our campus as we submit our plans to Him and seek to follow Him faithfully. We look forward to partnering with you in our mission to deliver a biblically faithful and highly effective education.
