BRANFORD PUBLIC SCHOOLS Guiding Documents
GLOBAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES
The desired attributes, skills, and qualities that all students should possess upon graduation from the Branford Public Schools are Branford’s Global Learning Competencies. These competencies serve as a guiding framework for our community in order to design curriculum and learning experiences that aim to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are equipped to succeed in their personal, academic, and professional lives. Branford’s Global Learning Competencies reflect the educational values and goals of the district while shaping the path of the educational journey of students. ATTRIBUTES OF DEEP LEARNING Deep learning experiences prepare students to cognitively engage and connect in order to prepare for the demands of a rapidly changing, information-rich society. We aspire to provide dynamic learning experiences for students through: Feedback: Providing continuous skills development, recognizing progress at each stage, while incorporating mentoring, feedback, and support throughout the learning process. Content: Ensuring students progress from initial understanding to application of content by continuously reviewing and upgrading their knowledge and skills, using high- quality resources, and engaging in hands-on experiences. Context: Promoting intrinsic motivation and student engagement in the pursuit of learning by communicating high expectations within an environment of clear rules and procedures and nurturing relationships. Community: Cultivating a safe, supportive, and collaborative culture with colleagues, students, and families to optimize learning for educators and students.
