Instructional Focus
At Jacob Hiatt Magnet School students will achieve their highest academic potential by actively engaging in learning across all areas of a standards-based curriculum.

Students will be empowered to problem solve, think critically, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively. Best Practices:
- Metacognitive Strategies
- Explicit vocabulary instruction
- Balanced literacy approach
- Hands-on, inquiry based learning
- Flexible groupings and cooperative learning
