The work that we do at WIL and throughout every corner of our eight campuses centers on a Continuous Feedback System (CFS) that reflects our philosophy and unique approach to educating students with learning disabilities and supporting them in becoming independent learners. The CFS prioritizes assessment not only as a starting point to deeply understanding each student, but also as an ongoing mechanism to continually analyze our students’ response to instruction, ensuring that we are most effectively designing remediation and support. We see assessment as the primary building block to our decisions about how to approach instruction with each individual student. The Winston Innovation Lab plays an integral role in researching and facilitating evidence-based assessment practices and sharing those practices with leaders and faculty on an ongoing basis. The CFS also emphasizes student self-assessment and reflection, leading to greater self-understanding, and ultimately, independence.  

 

At the Innovation Lab, we look forward to another year of learning, sharing and supporting successful outcomes for all of our students. Please stay tuned for continued updates on our work.
