School Beliefs Inventory Student learning is the chief priority for the school. Students' learning needs should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school. A safe and physically comfortable environment promotes student learning. Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs. Exceptional students (e.g., special education, limited English proficient, talented and gifted, etc.) require special services and procedures. A student's self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff. Students need to not only demonstrate their understanding of essential knowledge and skills, but also need to b e actively involved in solving problems and producing quality work. Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learn. All students can learn. Teachers, Administrators, Parents, and the Community share the responsibility for advancing the school's mission. Parents, Teachers, and Students are responsible for the academic success of each student. Schools need to function as a learning organization and promote opportunities for all those who have a stake in the success of the school to work together as a community of learners. Challenging expectations increase individual student performance. Students learn to make appropriate decisions given a supportive and challenging learning environment. Assessments of student learning should provide students with a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their achievement of the expectations for their learning. Cultural diversity can increase students' understanding of different peoples and cultures. The commitment to continuous improvement is imperative if our school is going to enable students to become confident, self directed, lifelong learners. Back to Top |
