- Assess student learning through formative and summative assessments and use data to guide instruction.
- Integrate educational technology and hands-on learning experiences to enhance student engagement.
- Maintain consistent communication with parents regarding student progress, classroom activities, and academic expectations.
- Collaborate with fellow teachers and school leadership to support curriculum planning and continuous school improvement.
- Participate in faculty meetings, professional development, school events, and family engagement activities.
