Curriculum Design
“Digitization and miniaturization of information processing power are expanding exponentially and are changing the world, our lives, and our communities at an overwhelming speed.
To be viable, schools must adapt to this new environment. We must embrace and seize technology’s potential to capture the hearts and minds of this, the first digital generation, so that the work designed for them is more engaging and respects their superior talents with digital devices and connections.”
Creating a New Vision for Public Education in Texas

Units and lessons included here were developed using the Understanding by Design Framework by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe, and the Rigor and Relevance Framework designed by Dr. Bill Daggett. They also incorporate the use of the Response to Intervention model.
Response to Intervention (RtI)
The nationally recognized methodology for helping students achieve minimal expectations. Tier 1 instruction should address the needs of 80% of the student population. Differentiated instruction is the protocol used to make sure that students do not "fall through the cracks." For students that need additional support, Tier 2 strategies are in place to provide individual and small group tutorial and remediation supports aimed at returning students to Tier 1. For those needing more intensive supports, Tier 3 provides a plan for immediate knowledge and skill development so students can perform at grade level and return to Tier 1 instruction.Positive Behavior System (PBS)
Students needing assistance in recognizing and exhibiting appropriate levels of self-discipline are supported by strategies and interventions to help them master these crucial social skills.21st Century LEARNER Profile
The Seawinn 21st Century LEARNER Profile combines extensive research and recommendations from the Partnership for 21st Century Skills with student standards from the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE).The LEARNER acronym creates a concise picture of the attributes all Pre-K - post secondary educators must understand and support throughout the educational process. Beginning with the end in mind, and monitoring progress along the way will insure that every graduate possesses, not only the foundation knowledge to pass state standardized tests, but also possesses the skills and attributes necessary for success in a rapidly changing world.
