Learning Targets

Learning Targets

Learning Targets state clearly what your child will be learning in all subject areas including:

  • Reading (Currently Under Review)
  • Language Arts
  • Mathematics
  • Science
  • Social Studies
  • Music
  • Physical Education
  • Health
  • Art
  • School Counseling

Setting Learning Targets for each subject area and grade level:

  • Ensures that all teachers focus on developing the same skills and concepts at a level appropriate for each child
  • In setting these targets, we expect all children to enjoy high level learning experiences
  • Learning Targets promote consistency in teaching and learning

Using Learning Targets:

  • Teachers assess student performance throughout the year
  • These frequent checks provide the teachers with information on skills and concepts that may have to be covered again as children mature
  • The teacher is then able to help each child before he or she falls behind their grade level

Please review the Learning Targets for your child's grade level and refer to them throughout the school year.

Compare Learning Targets to the work your child brings home to see how they match.
