COMMON CORE STANDARDS: Agape Achievement Academy’s overall instructional program will utilize the Common Core State Standards for reading and math. The Common Core State Standards are aligned with the North Carolina Accountability Model. These Standards are part of the North Carolina Standard Course of Study and will help our students and teachers follow a path that aligns with State End-of-Grade (EOG) Testing. In addition, these grade-level standards will serve as the basis for daily reading and math instruction throughout each school year. Our curriculum will be the Core Knowledge (CKLA) program which is evidenced based and aligns with the NC Common Core State Standards.
Preparing students to meet their full potential, develop a love for learning, and empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to lead successful lives will drive every decision regarding instruction and learning at Agape Achievement Academy. Instruction will be rigorous and will hold students to the highest of expectations. There is a strong emphasis on creating a culturally relevant education that holds each student to high academic and behavioral standards, affirms each student's identity and experiences, and positions them with the character and social consciousness to be change agents in their communities. Teachers will use a transparent, consistent accountability model based on ambitious, measurable, and motivating goals, assess and track student progress at regular intervals, and invest students in their learning and goals through individual, student-centered tracking systems.
At Agape Achievement Academy, students will be taught using various strategies/techniques within each lesson to ensure each child reaches their learning goals. Teachers will use research-based, standards-aligned, scaffolded programs for the direct instruction and independent practice portion of instruction in core subjects.
