  • Teach one daily section of CCR focused on student agency, soft skills, and pathway exploration
  • Data and Continuous Improvement :

  • Use student work, progress data, and feedback to refine the CBL model and the CCR experience
  • Gather feedback from students, families, and staff and use it to continuously improve both the CBL model and the CCR experience
  • Communicate the CBL and CCR vision clearly and consistently to staff, students, and families
