Showcase Focus:
Discover how WICOR—Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading—shapes dynamic classrooms where students are active participants in their learning. During this showcase, visitors will observe how educators purposefully design lessons that integrate WICOR strategies to spark curiosity, foster meaningful collaboration, and build critical thinking skills. Through classroom visits and conversations with both staff and students, participants will experience how a shared focus on WICOR creates a vibrant culture of engagement and rigor, preparing every student to take charge of their learning and succeed beyond the classroom.
