The Inspired Classroom Model
Moves away from a traditional classroom arrangement. The Inspired Classroom
model brings four or five classroom computers from the perimeter of the room
to the student’s desks.
The student desks are arranged in small groups that allow students to work
cooperatively, and each group has access to a computer throughout the day.
This arrangement allows the technology to become an integral part of the learning
process and seamlessly integrates into the teaching and learning process.
The Inspired ClassroomMaximize Minimize

The TAG TAllyThe tally is
comprised of a self and teacher
evaluation of the student’s
performance that day. Criteria for the
evaluation comes directly from the
TAG report card.
Each week the students are
expected to share the tally with their
parent(s) and have it signed.
The signed tally is required to be returned the
following week in order for the student
to be considered prepared for class
Please help your child keep up with
this important weekly
responsibility.
