Strategic Initiatives 1. Technology Academy will be used to incorporate real world, problem solving skills for our students. They will work with available technologies, researching their projects and learning about the world around them.

2. Higher level thinking questions will be asked throughout lessons to help build critical thinking skills. Training on these questions will be given to all teachers.
