• OUR TEACHING APPROACH

  • CARING PROFESSIONALS WITH THE TOOLS FOR SUCCESS

    At Trinity Basin Preparatory, our teachers strive to create a culture of positive interdependence through shared goals and experiences of collective success.

    • Smaller class sizes allow our teachers to deeply engage with students while forging strong, lasting, trust-based relationships with them and their families.

    • We hire English as a Second Language (ESL) certified teachers and provide them with support in the classroom, which includes, but is not limited to: Specialists, Response to Intervention (RTI), and Instructional Coaches (ICs)

    In addition to subject matter exploration and instruction, TBP schools are using SEL (social- emotional learning) to help students acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to:
  • Understand & Manage Emotions
  • Set & Achieve Goals
  • Establish & Maintain Positive Relationships
  • Feel & Show Empathy
  • Make Responsible Decisions

  • A higher emphasis on consistent SEL in classrooms has proven that significant associations exist between measured social-emotional skills in kindergarten and young adult outcomes. For example: Students who were stronger in SEL competencies were more likely to graduate from high school, complete a college degree, and obtain stable employment in young adulthood.
