King Open About King Open School Community :
The King Open's commitment statement reads, "The King Open is committed to increasing every student's ability to monitor her or his own learning, to recognize the role of effort in learning and to work and succeed independently as well as cooperatively." Through differentiation and academic rigor, we provide our students with a well-rounded education that will enable them to develop critical and flexible thinking capacity, collaboration skills and a work ethic that will prepare them for becoming productive citizens. We know that this commitment cannot be fully realized without the support of our families. Therefore, participation and feedback from parent/guardian/caregiver(s) is welcomed, and we are also committed to ensuring that all of our families are deeply connected with their child's learning and the happenings in our school community. Positive attitudes and perceptions influence teaching and learning. Here at the King Open we believe that it is our shared responsibility to maintain and cultivate positive attitudes and perceptions as we work together to teach district curricula (CKLA, Illustrative Math (IM), etc) and plan student centered activities. An authentic respect for diversity as evidenced by a sincere effort to learn about our students' cultural identities, will have a huge impact on creating/sustaining a safe, orderly and high achieving school community. We create opportunities for our students to acquire and integrate; extend and refine as well as use content meaningfully so that they have the skills needed to actively explore and investigate the ever-changing world. Finally, looking at student work and assessment data will aid the King Open team in making informed decisions about instruction in an intentional effort to close gaps in student learning and dramatically increase student achievement.
