Thought this blog post from a year ago was worth posting again — the sole district focus for White Oak ISD is to ‘Transform Classroom Instruction.’ The transformation occuring across the district in many classrooms is truly amazing, with teachers at every grade level and/or subject area working to engage students at the highest level and challenging them with project-based learning units that are inquiry-driven, and filled with collaboration, creativity, and student voice and choice. Add the high levels of technology integration to the mix and what our teachers are creating is student-centered, student facilitated classrooms that drive 21st Century Learning.
