October Bulletin: Update from Ms. Breo

A Note from Ms. Breo:

Dear IP Families,

Thank you to all of the parents for supporting us through the beginning of the school year!  We have had a strong start and we are excited for the months ahead.   
We are focused on our Breakthrough Schools grant and beginning our journey to personalize learning for our students. We are in our 1st year of implementation and our model is structured in the following four ways:
  • Flexible Learning Environments → Classrooms provide students with comfort and many options for students to learn best
  • Learner Profiles → Students identify interests and goals so that teachers may tailor their learning experience
  • Competency-Based Progression → Teachers move at a student’s pace each day and provide your child with the content they are ready for
  • Personalized Learning Plans → Students create daily and weekly goals to drive their own learning and monitor progress towards goals

As we begin, our first focus is flexible learning environments.  We have started to design our classroom environments.  We are looking at ways to balance technology with best teaching practices and we are also looking at grouping students in different ways during instruction.  During this time we will also be setting high expectations for students so that we can have solid transitions to maximize learning time.  

I am excited for Parent-Teacher Conferences at the end of the month.  It will be a great time for parents, students, and teachers to come together as a team and outline goals for the year!  I look forward to seeing you all.

Please know that I am always available if you have any questions, ideas, comments, or feedback to help our school be the best that it can be!  Don’t hesitate to reach out to me for anything that you need!
​
Sincerely,
Ms. Breo
Director, CICS Irving Park
