Curriculum is our passion. Working hand-in-hand with educators to enhance the teaching and learning taking place here at ASFM is a dream come true! Whether it is through literacy, math, science, technology, physical education, music or art, making meaningful and lasting experiences happen for students is our commitment.
Our daily practice focuses attention on purposeful and deliberate instruction, promoting and modeling research-based best practices and increasing understanding of intentional teaching. In doing so, teachers are able to address the individual needs of our students based on a variety of data. In order to ensure that all of our students receive equity of access to the curriculum, grade-level teams work together with the curriculum team to develop unit plans. Working in collaboration with teachers, we strive to provide an ideal learning environment where students can reap the benefits!
