Bair Middle School uses various content area instructional strategies as well as online learning platforms to assess where students are struggling or progressing throughout the year. Regular in class formative assessments range from content-based Bair Bite activities, explicit instruction for vocabulary and central idea/ theme to pre and post tests. Additionally, district approved online resources include SAVVAS, IXL, HMH ed, Khan Academy, Prisms 2.0, and CPALMS. 

 Every content area also has scheduled professional learning communities (PLC) twice weekly to discuss the scope, sequence, and pacing of the current curriculum. Teachers also discuss and identify individual students or groups of students who are not meeting the learning target range of 70% to 80% proficiency of common formative assessments. Teachers collaborate and share best practices in classroom management as well as content-area instruction. Some of these strategies include, but are not limited to small group collaboration, student peer/pair, Accountable Talks for in-class discussion, Project-Based Learning, direct and explicit instruction, and the Gradual Release Model. 

The Math Coach and the Literacy Coach work directly with the students who are in the lowest quartile to remediate and enrich them. Extra Learning Opportunities like Super Saturday Camp offer opportunities for students to drill and practice the skills and standards prior to each progress monitoring window. These Extra Learning Opportunities are also available to the 7th and 8th grade students who are taking Middle School Acceleration classes and who have an end of course exam (EoC): Biology I Honors, Algebra I Honors, and Geometry.
