Students at Walker Elementary school are treated as unique learners. Through personalized learning environments,
each student works through an individual learning plan that focuses on the student’s particular interests and skills
set. Learning for the 21st century is the vision that Walker educators operate under, and the goal is to prepare
students for a global economy. Preparing students for this requires them to be encouraged to demonstrate not only
mastery of the content, but further and deeper inquiry into the content. Walker has used technology and creative
space set up to aid in this preparation process
