Gateway Standards

To provide a unified vision of the skills we value and teach, The Sharon Academy has developed descriptions of seven transferable skills that students will begin working on as soon as they begin at TSA and must master in order to graduate. These skills are taught and evaluated along with content knowledge. With these seven transferable skills, or Gateway Standards, students will graduate able to:

1) Acquire Information Critically
2) Think Critically and use Evidence to Construct Arguments
3) Demonstrate Perseverance and Creativity in Problem Solving
4) Communicate Effectively
5) Take Responsibility for Learning and Growth
6) Commit to Community and Responsible Citizenship
7) Explore Social, Emotional, and Physical Well-being

Each Gateway Standard is further broken down into performance indicators that students need to master.
