The team contributes to student success by closing achievement gaps, measuring progress, using assessments, implementing interventions, and student engagement. Westlawn's 5th Grade team is a dynamic, diverse, dedicated, inclusive and hardworking group. The team contributes to student success by attending to each of their students through a whole child approach: academics, behavior, and wellness. This team is an inclusive team (general education, special education, ESOL, resource teachers, and school guidance). They have high expectations of each other and hold themselves accountable. The team’s collective experience spans one to 19 years. The Fifth Grade Team truly embodies the motto, “These are all our kids.”
