| Introduction | Aberdovey Charter School was founded on the ideals of Expeditionary Learning Outward Bound and organizes its curriculum around multidisciplinary learning expeditions. Academic achievement and character development are placed together at the core of the curriculum. Our standards-based K-6 portfolio assessment system makes explicit the criteria by which success can be measured and documents the accomplishments of high academic and character standards. Robyn Rogers, founding member of Aberdovey Charter School, holds her BA from Scripps College and her MAT from Pacific University. She is certified K through 9th grade and has taught elementary school for 10 years. She is working on creating a team of professionals to strengthen the foundation of this charter school endeavor. |
