Catholic identity permeates our curriculum guidelines, instruction, and assessments. Curriculum guidelines along with the Archdiocese of Detroit Content Standards provide a template for teachers to provide instruction, and assessments demonstrate that learners have achieved unsurpassed academic success. A process of continuous improvement ensures that curriculum guidelines are regularly examined and updated or revised where needed.
We use Renaissance Star 360 Testing three times during the year to better understand each child's progress and competencies. Annually, we analyze the scores and implement changes to fit the needs of our learners. Additionally, the data from each child's literacy, reading and/or math supports his/her classroom teacher in differentiating instruction to meet each child's specific learning needs.
