Curriculum
Standards, as designed and approved by the Georgia State Department of Education, drive our daily instruction. We offer a variety of course work in the core content areas of Math, English/Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies. We expect our students to be active participants in their learning and complacency is not acceptable. CCMS will provide students performance tasks that will require critical thinking, cooperative/social interaction, time for reflection, and an opportunity to demonstrate mastery.
Instruction
Clear Creek Middle School Faculty will utilize a wide variety of instructional practices. Students will work independently, cooperatively in small groups, and as integrated large groups. Through differentiated instruction, we strive to use best teaching practices to create opportunities that respond to the needs of diverse learners and solidify foundations essential to better complete career pathways.
Assessment
It is our belief that students should demonstrate their mastery of learning through a variety of assessments. Students will work on Teacher created classroom-based assessments, departmental benchmarks, project-based demonstrations, and state mandated assessments. The data collected through both formative (Daily/Unit based instruction), and summative assessment will be monitored closely to facilitate the acceleration and remediation process.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to promote academic excellence and success for ALL.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to cultivate lifelong learners who enrich their community by challenging and empowering each student to reach their full potential in post-secondary, military or workforce.
