COLLABORATION

In 2022-2023, late start Wednesdays continued to give the teachers purposeful, and collaborative learning opportunities focused on vertical and horizontal curriculum alignment This time has been invaluable to teachers as they work collaboratively to build a guaranteed and viable curriculum that represents the SJA Jeju mission and vision The results of this collaborative work time have been extraordinary They include the following:

The review and implementation of priority standards across all three divisions have built foundational relationships between teachers in different divisions

Vertical alignment of standards from PK3-12 has ensured SJA Jeju students have a curriculum that progresses each year

Teachers have been able to meet by subject across divisions leading to more purposeful, powerful, and precise unit planning

The creation of school-wide transfer goals ensuring students can apply the knowledge, skills, and understanding they have gained in one context to other contexts or real-world situations

The Wednesday late start provides crucial collaborative time and has allowed SJA Jeju to create a curricular foundation that will support students for years to come
