North
Routt Preschool |
|
| The
North Routt Community is strongly committed to the children of the
area. We have developed our vision and philosophy of the North Routt
Community Charter School (NRCCS) based on this commitment. The vision
and philosophy statement will be visited continually over the next
three years, and will be re-visited throughout the life of the school. THE NRCCS VISION "TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO SPREAD THEIR WINGS AND SOAR LIKE EAGLES" NORTH ROUTT IS A PLACE OF LEARNING INHABITED BY PEOPLE WHO TREASURE OUR COUNTRYSIDE AND ITS HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE, WITH A COMMITMENT TO THE CHILDREN AND THE COMMUNITY (BOTH LOCAL AND GLOBAL). IN THIS SPECIAL SETTING WE SEE EACH INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVING HIS/HER HIGHEST POTENTIAL IN A POSITIVE (CAN-DO), GOAL-ORIENTED, NURTURING, AND SECURE ATMOSPHERE. CORE BELIEFS In striving for educational and personal excellence, the NRCCS core beliefs are: Each Child is Unique Though there are many factors that enhance school success, the only absolutely essential factor is that we (students, parents, teachers, and community members) must recognize and allow for the differences in student learning abilities and individual social styles. We also believe that all students have strengths that can be identified and developed and weaknesses that can be improved upon. It is our focus to provide an environment where each child can have experiences of success in both areas. Goal Setting is Essential To develop those experiences of success it is our job to help students develop THEIR personal vision and goals for THEIR life and help them align THEIR visions and goals with parents, teachers, community, and global interests. Success Begets Success When we see ourselves as being successful, we are intrinsically motivated to become even more successful. As parents, teachers, and community members it will be our focus to RECOGNIZE and PRAISE our children for THEIR goals accomplished. It will be our goal to encourage SELF-EVALUATION of THEIR visions and goals and to help each child make adjustments throughout their school-age years. Social Skills In addition to academic excellence, we believe that there is a crucial need to develop personal character, people and social skills, through a character education program that will enhance the long-term success of our children. Commitment to Excellence Requires Time Our school communities will constantly look for creative ways to increase time for Parent-Teacher-Community collaboration, time for developing a multi-age, place-based curriculum, time for gathering feedback, and time for designing programs that will result in educational excellence. Quality Requires Feedback Our programs will be effective when they include a method to measure program success through evaluation that includes the entire school community. The result of the evaluation must then be fed back into the implementation of the program in order to ensure that the program is actually helping us to achieve our purpose. The Best Decisions Result in Win/Win Solutions The process of decision making should be collaborative whenever possible and reasonable. There will be a partnership among parents, the school, the local community, the charter board and the district that will generate decisions that result in the most efficient use of resources for maximum educational benefits. It is understood that such a philosophy requires us all to be open to dialogue and not assume that our personal priorities are always the correct priorities. |
