2016-2017
Ridgefield Academy’s Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning (The Center) was designed to create a dynamic learning environment where students and teachers can reach their full potential. The Center partners with faculty, evaluating curriculum to make certain it is appropriately forward thinking, and that the course material presented and teaching methods employed will assist students in developing the essential skills they need. With the support of The Center, our teachers examine the act of teaching, not merely the subject, as well as the process of learning. Faculty are provided continuing education opportunities and support to ensure that all students are appropriately challenged, inspired, and able to reach their highest level of achievement.
