This week in Matt Cope's Biology class, students participated in a Concept Attainment activity. Concept Attainment is an inquiry learning strategy where students investigate group or category by comparing and contrasting samples.  

Cope's lesson asked students to identify the traits and properties of macromolecules. This strategy helps students make connections between what they already know and what they will be learning.

Landmark's Nebo HERO: August 2017

Submitted by chelsie.young on Thu, 09/14/2017 - 16:09
At the beginning of each school year, faculty from around the district come together to hear a positive, empowering message to kick off the new school year. This year's speaker and message was one of the best I've been to; which is really saying something. Author and speaker Kevin Brown shared with us the idea and message of putting forth a H.E.R.O.'s effort.
 
A HERO:
  • Helps people with no strings attached.  
  • Creates an Exceptional Experience for the people they serve.
