We Believe . . .
Education must be focused, defined and measurable rather than random and accidental. Education should be the right of all regardless of race, creed, disability, gender or gift. Education should be lifelong, process oriented and our nation’s top priority.
Schools should set goals, establish a positive environment and develop a team effort with communication to all team members. School goals should guarantee basic skills to every student so 100% of our students’ graduate. Schools should prepare students for college, trade schools and the real world. Schools must identify and focus on exit outcomes for each curriculum. Our positive environment should be fun, caring, disciplined, exciting and challenging. We must provide a longer time to learn the basic principles, but not lock all students into a longer time. We must build the self-esteem of every student.
Parents must be positive role models and take responsibility to be involved in the education of children and adults.
Students need to take responsibility for their own learning and become responsible, productive citizens of society. They should be guaranteed guidance in developing, modifying, and setting goals for their future and be encouraged to communicate in the process. Students need to have enthusiasm for lifelong learning.
Teachers are some of the most important persons in each child’s life. They must do everything possible to build each child’s self-esteem and must motivate each child through a positive educational environment. Teachers must be open to change, taking into consideration each child’s individual needs and/or goals. By using new techniques, methods and technologies, teachers can help in the child’s learning. Teachers must be team players and must talk with parents, students, administrators and other staff members.
