In our 2010-2015 Charter, we “recognized that we need to shift from isolation among teachers to a collaborative growth model and greater use and study of research-based methods of instruction and assessment. We will implement a uniform and structured observation plan through Robert Marzano’s iObservation, which will provide a common language based on The Art and Science of Teaching as well as data from observations based upon a research-based protocol.”

Therefore, “an important part of professional development will include improving formative assessment as a means to improve student achievement. This learning will be part of the professional development program. As EMHS improves its understanding of itself through a review of curriculum and best practices, it will work to create models (exemplars) of excellence for students to achieve as well as teachers to teach toward.”

Therefore, EMHS seeks employees who believe that each student has a future that includes college. The process to help students in this endeavor is constantly evolving, so we seek those who want to continue to grow as people and professionals.
