What is Teaching & Learning?

  • Cambridge-Isanti Schools Mission Statement:  The mission of Cambridge-Isanti Schools, in partnership with our community, is to Educate, Empower and Inspire EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY to achieve their full potential.

    As we aspire to be the leader in innovative education offering unlimited options and opportunities it is imperative that we start with the curriculum that is being used.  In the Cambridge-Isanti Schools we believe that a high quality, standards based curriculum implemented with effective research based instructional strategies will produce high levels of learning in all students.  As a part of our motto, "Every Student, Every Day" we feel that it is important to create learning environments that call for individualized instruction.

    In order to help our students achieve success through highly effective staff, we utilize the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model.  This model includes 4 domains:

    • Standards-Based Planning
    • Standards-Based Instruction
    • Conditions for Learning
    • Professional Responsibilities

    We incorporate the Marzano Focused Teacher Evaluation Model by implementing the iObservation instructional and leadership improvement system.  This system collects, manages, and reports longitudinal data from classroom walkthroughs, teacher evaluations and teacher observations.  For more detailed information on the Marzano model open the following document:

    Our Blended Learning Plan provides more access for students to learn through the use of digital medium and cloud computing.  Some of the more immediate benefits to blended learning strategies are:

    • 24/7 access to curriculum and instruction
    • Further utilization of individualized learning paths and differentiation
    • Impacting lives by building relationships with students through a rigorous, relevant and engaging curriculum.
