School Mission
|
|
Our mission at Ethel M. Johnson School is to facilitate continuous student
learning and development. We recognize and value individual differences in students
and strive to provide for their diverse learning needs. In cooperation with the home, we
promote children's intellectual, social, emotional, creative, and physical development.
We Believe:
That all children can learn and succeed, although not in the same way or at the
same time
In early identification and provision for learning differences
That all experiences should contribute to student's self-esteem
That the better we understand quality learning, the greater are the opportunities
for individual student growth
That an in-depth knowledge of curriculum will benefit the learner
That an environment of collegiality and collaboration enhances teaching and
learning
That mutual respect fosters positive student-teacher relationships
Vision
To build a collaborative, collegial learning community founded on our beliefs that
students learn best:
In an atmosphere that is positive, caring, and supportive.
When they have opportunities for success and for development of a positive
self-concept.
Through a variety of experiences that address a variety of learning styles.
When they are actively engaged in purposeful, meaningful learning.
When they are encouraged to take responsibility and ownership for their
learning.
When their teachers are knowledgeable and committed and participate in shared
decision making and leadership responsibilities.
