Teaching & Learning
What is Teaching and Learning?
Teaching and learning at the St. Anthony-New Brighton School District is grounded in the ultimate goal of success for each student. Through rigorous and relevant curriculum and instruction, students are challenged to use high-level thinking and reasoning skills, make connections and meaning between their past and new learning, and apply their learning in meaningful ways.
Learn about Rigor, Relevance & Relationships
We nurture the brilliance of each student and staff member
We are proud to offer numerous staff development opportunities that enhance and inspire staff as we move towards a proficiency-based grading model. Staff members attend professional development sessions that explore topics around social-emotional learning, literacy, trends in classroom management and more.
By 2025, we will move to proficiency-based learning and grading, which is a system where students receive feedback and scores based on how well they can meet the specific goals or standards of a class.
