// The framework and description of the elements of a quality learning environment (big rocks) below are intended to outline high leverage points around instruction. The focus of this model is on instruction (teaching and learning) and the experience of our students. This model does not include everything that happens in schools. We acknowledge the critical importance of the need for such elements as strong classroom management, the need to create global citizens, character development and connecting to community. We believe that many of these elements, although not specifically identified are embedded in the big ideas within this model. //
