Cooperative Learning Students in MRSH schools frequently work together to help each other understand new concepts and practice what they've learned.
Reaching Beyond the Classroom Use of on-line resources gives students access to information necessary to understand the world beyond the school walls.
Understanding Excellence As students work to refine and improve their projects in art class or their performances in music classes, they come to understand the commitment required for true excellence.
Individualizing Instruction Effective classrooms include opportunities for students to learn in large groups, small cooperative groups, and one-on-one interaction with the teacher.
Checking for Understanding By working directly with small groups, MRSH teachers are able to detect and correct misconceptions and reinforce students' understanding of concepts.
Applying Creative Solutions to Real-World Problems Students in one class tried their hand at urban planning as they discussed the characteristics and essential needs of towns and cities.
