APSB PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

APSB uses a comprehensive standards-based curriculum in which we teach for understanding. Students understand when they acquire important new knowledge and skills, make meaning of big ideas related to the knowledge and skills, and transfer this learning to new and authentic situations.

The Understanding by Design (UbD) model, which seeks to structure teaching for understanding, guides us in the formulation of our written curriculum. We align curriculum, instruction, and assessment to allow students to demonstrate understanding by developing enduring understandings and building on previous learning experiences and previously learned knowledge and skills. APSB teachers regularly update and revise curricula to reflect current best practices and research.

At APSB, we believe that the purpose of assessment is to promote learning. A robust system of assessment is relevant and accurate, ongoing, informative and timely, and understandable to all. Multiple forms of assessment are used to allow students to demonstrate their understanding; formative assessments are used to guide instruction and student goal-setting while summative assessments summarize the mastery of content, knowledge or skills at a particular point in time.

APSB HAS DEVELOPED VARIOUS DEGREE PROGRAMS

At APSB, each of our 140+ disciplines has an underlying philosophy to assist teachers in providing focused instruction from Associate degree to PhD student training strategy, supporting the school's Mission, Vision and Student Learning Results. No matter what the discipline, students learn skills that will serve them throughout their lives.

Designed by our teachers and administrators, each of the discipline philosophies answers three key questions:
 

1. What are APSB's essential beliefs about the discipline and its value and importance to each student?
2. What are our disciplinary transfer goals for our students? (Transfer goals are the application of understanding, knowledge, and skills that students do independently now and as adults.)
3. For which common agreements will APSB hold ourselves accountable? What professional practices do we believe have the most positive impact on learning in the discipline.
