On Mission

Today our faculty received inservice from Coach 4 Success. We did a lot of team-building activities and talked about making connections with each other and our students, and about helping our students make connections with each other. We also learned many different structures for managing cooperative learning and sharing. Our mission statement has been finalized. In case you are wondering, our mission is to empower all students to achieve high levels of academic achievement and to participate successfully in campus life, to provide academic rigor in an authentic and relevant context, and to build a supportive community of lifelong learners who value and show respect for themselves and each other. I learned a lot about a lot of folks today. This faculty is amazing - we all want so much to make a difference in the lives of our children.
