Why Lincoln Middle School (AR) was nominated
LMS has embraced Personalized learning using Summit Platform. A Shared Leadership culture is evident as LMS embraced the structure and tenets of Opportunity Culture School. Middle school multi-classroom leaders (MCLs) in Lincoln Consolidated Schools make learning a collaborative experience for staff and students. An exceptional experiential learning experience structure offers multiple ways for students to learn by experiencing different activities like rock climbing, biking, fishing, pump track competition, canoeing as part of the regular school day. A culture of collaboration continues in this school which has a long history as a professional learning community. Strong emphasis on the teachers as learners keeps the focus on learning for everyone.
Student experience design
Summit data also allows teachers to determine what groups of students need extra support. Students are able to get extra support through the more flexible schedule that we now have. Students have control over their pace of learning with twenty percent of the curriculum. The other eighty percent is project-based learning. Along with the personalization, students can show mastery through the Cognitive Skill rubric that is universal to all grades. The rubric is used for English, Science and Social Studies. The rubric provides students the opportunity to show true grade level understanding, meaning that a student might be in 5th grade but has mastery in certain standards on a 4th-grade level, while other standards are on a 7th-grade level. Cognitive skills are repeated throughout projects to allow students time to show growth in a skill at their own pace and provide students with multiple opportunities to gain mastery. Student learning has been impacted by the cognitive skills rubric which provides continuous learning and improvement cycle.
