FAQ
What is a leveled classroom?
In a leveled classroom, teachers assess students' academic abilities and adjust the curriculum to meet each student at their current level of understanding. This approach recognizes that students may excel in some subjects while needing extra support in others. By individualizing instruction within the same classroom, educators can provide targeted support and challenges to help each student reach their full potential across different subjects. This approach fosters a more inclusive and supportive learning environment where students receive personalized attention and instruction tailored to their specific needs. It allows for differentiated instruction, where teachers can adapt their teaching methods and materials to accommodate the diverse learning needs of students in the same classroom. Overall, leveled classrooms aim to maximize student learning and growth by addressing individual strengths and weaknesses effectively.
How do we handle standardized testing?
At OOTKS Academy, standardized testing is not a current requirement due to the regulations for private schools in the state of Texas. As a result, standardized testing will not be conducted at the academy. Instead, the focus will be on providing a comprehensive and individualized education tailored to each student's needs and abilities, without the necessity of standardized assessments.
