During the 2010-2011 School year, the Department of Learning and Teaching developed a partnership with the Cajon Valley School District. This partnership supports the development of Cajon Valley’s newest school- Magnolia Elementary School-A 21st Century School. Central to this partnership is the work of the Teaching Studio. Through the Teaching Studio, teachers from Magnolia, will be engaged in workshops, instructional development sessions, lesson study, and action research.
Our goal is to not only engage teachers in the school around these new practices, but to document the process of teacher development towards more student-centered/student- responsive instructional practices.
