Students in Learning CommonsThanks for visiting the Rykers' Ridge Learning Commons Page!

In the Learning Commons, our goals are to:

- Get students excited about the library space and learning.
- Give students opportunities to work on engaging tasks.
- Provide spaces to work collaboratively, think critically and creatively.

Transition to a place where students DO stuff, not simply a place where students GET stuff!

Each visit to the Learning Commons provides a different learning environment for students to explore technology, books, experiments, and projects.  Students work together to creatively solve problems and learn how to work together in small groups to discover one anothers strengths and identify opportunities for development.

We invite you to stay in touch with us!  Feel free to browse our monthly, interactive newsletters linked below.

Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Launch

PLTW Launch is designed for students in kindergarten through 5th grade and compliments middle and high school course offerings. "Students use structured approaches, like the engineering design process, and employ critical thinking. They apply Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) knowledge, skills, and habits of mind, learning that it is OK to take risks and make mistakes. As teachers and students learn and discover together, education becomes far more engaging" (PLTW Launch website). MCS has goals to take this program district-wide in all elementary classrooms.

Student learning is at the heart of our eLearning program initiatives. Madison Consolidated Schools has been supporting systemic change initiatives that focus on student learning and growth, educator effectiveness, college and career readiness, and school improvement. Our corporation has made a significant investment in technology and we are beginning to see teachers and students create an ecosystem for information-age learning in their classrooms. We believe that utilizing technology, providing access and mobility to 21st-century resources, and allowing teachers to learn & grow in these opportunities will bring us closer to our goals and allow us to educate all students to reach their potential.

Madison Consolidated Schools is committed to student growth and learning through innovative educational practices. Five key principles in our district strategic plan include:

1. Student Performance
2. Community Involvement
3. Human Capital
