All schools in Maryland are striving to achieve the Maryland Learning Outcomes and the Core Learning Goals as demonstrated by a school's performance on the Maryland School Performance Assessment Program (MSPAP). Our schools utilize the structure of the Dimensions of Learning framework. Obviously, no instruction can occur in the absence of good classroom management, which is based on active engagement of students in meaningful learning activities. Check out these sites:
