Our Instructional Focus
When teachers plan, implement, and differentiate lessons with appropriately rigorous tasks that require students to:
- analyze a variety of culturally responsive-sustaining (CRSE) texts,
- engage in academic discourse,
- build academic vocabulary,
- receive actionable feedback with an opportunity to revise based on that feedback,
they will be able to develop critical thinking abilities, enhance their cultural awareness, improve their communication skills, and foster a sense of ownership in their learning, ultimately leading to higher academic achievement and better preparation for postsecondary success, while navigating the complexities of life.
Our Vision
The John Adams High School community strives to cultivate a passion for learning through innovative education, inclusive collaboration and a culture that challenges and empowers students to become productive members of society.
