• Authentic Learning - involving students in real-world, relevant inquiry;
• Community of Learners - building a positive classroom environment where students feel safe to collaborate with others;
• High Quality Lesson Design - enhancing teacher capacity to design standards-based lessons that engage students in rigorous problem-solving;
• Powered by Technology - using technology as a fundamental tool for high-level and transformative learning.
