Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom School knows that education is the result of a cooperative effort of teachers, parents, and community, to develop students who are competent, confident, creative learners, and natural helpers, a group of student leaders and activists whose goal is lifelong cooperation with their community. Students receive a challenging and common curriculum incorporating the adopted text, based on the state quality core curriculum, curriculum guides, the tested curriculum, individual learning styles, and national standards. Although, the core of instruction must be the written; teacher expertise and teaching style will impact individual classes. Assessment occurs through teacher-directed assessments and through a New York State English language arts assessment.
