As you've read on this Blog previously, Belle Plaine science teacher Ricky Kremer is using some innovative teaching and grading strategies this semester in his Physical Science classes. As with any change it has had its ups and downs. After nine weeks however students are beginning to get a better idea of how the system/process works and are understanding more what is expected. One of the key things that IS occurring at a deeper and higher level is LEARNING. Students can no longer get by on the fluff and minutia that occurs in some classes at other schools.
All staff members at Belle Plaine are in the process of creating web-sites that they will use to share information with students and parents. Mr. Kremer has worked very hard this semester to communicate with parents about the changes taking place in his classroom. I have included a link to his web-site below and encourage you to check out the information on his site about Standards Based Grading and Flipped Classrooms.

A few other teachers have their sites active as well. Those can be found at the following link.

Please feel free to contact us with ideas or feedback about how we can better communicate.
