Elkhorn Ridge Middle School Curriculum
The Elkhorn Ridge Middle School program is designed to promote success. Students are assigned to an academic team composed of four teachers. The team serves several purposes. Team teachers are responsible for teaching Language Arts/Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies and Reading. The team affords flexibility in scheduling. In addition, the team provides a small unit within the school to allow for more personalized instruction and interaction between teachers and students.
The team teachers, because of their common planning time, are able to work closely to plan appropriate behavioral and instructional strategies for students. Planning time also provides a time to conference with parents and/or resource personnel regarding special learning and behavior needs of individual students.
Through a total team effort, the Elkhorn Ridge Middle School will work to provide each student with opportunities to grow in knowledge of the academic subjects, performance of life skills and ability to accept and follow through with responsibilities. Self-discipline is probably the most important aspect to student success. Our team work is focused on helping each student develop that sense of self-responsibility.
