Approach

Live Oak believes students enter the classroom with a wealth of unique abilities, experiences and interests. Differentiated instruction -- the offering of multiple means to achieve and exhibit understanding -- enables teachers to embrace variety as a key characteristic of any group, and to deliver a curriculum that is challenging, relevant and rewarding to every student. Our active and engaging program makes knowledge meaningful and learning purposeful.

Assessment

Assessment at Live Oak helps students, parents and the school evaluate student growth and performance in relation to curricular and individual goals. Tools used to assess student understanding include student observations, interviews, portfolio collections, writing samples, projects, class discussions, tests and student self-assessments. Incremental assessments are used to create trimester summary reports that describe the student's growth and performance in each area of the curriculum. In seventh and eighth grades, these reports also include letter grades.
