Critical Pathways
We are currently working collaboratively in professional learning teams on Teacher Learning Critical Pathways. Our teams work together to clarify intended outcomes, develop common assessments and jointly analyze student achievement data. We share strategies and materials and engage in collective action research regarding student learning.

Technology
At West Preparatory we are advancing our use of technology in the classroom. We have a computer lab, SMART board and numerous interactive lcd projectors. Our current goal is to work on pod-casts for our web-site which we would use to update our parents and the community on current events around the school.
