Instructional Philosophy
Flossmoor
School District 161 shall provide each student with a traditional, rigorous
academic curriculum with a broad-based, core foundation of facts, knowledge
and skills that will provide each graduate with an educational base for
excelling in high school and beyond.
Students and parents are expected to be active participants in the
educational experience. The
curriculum offered must challenge each student and allow him/her to progress
at a rate commensurate with his/her potential.
Professional staff are expected to use direct instruction, specifically
functioning as a classroom leader. Other
delivery systems are expected to be data and research based, which utilize
current available resources to achieve academic improvement.
The Board of Education directs the administration to implement this
philosophy and the Board’s regulations in the School District as a basic
building block for school improvement.
