| At Abington Avenue School we believe that: Children learn best when the needs of the whole child are addressed; Children learn best when they feel physically and emotionally safe; Children learn best when individual needs are met through appropriate interventions and differentiated instruction; Children learn best when we serve our families and our community and view them as integral components of our system; A strong staff that works together can deliver highly effective instruction with excellence and rigor; Distributive leadership promotes mutual investment in the Vision and holds all accountable for decisions and the school’s direction; A staff that continues learning will promote students who will be our lifelong learners of the future. ›š "Students, who over an extended period of time are treated as if they are intelligent, actually become so. If they are taught demanding content and are expected to explain and find connections as well as memorize and repeat, they learn more and learn more quickly. They think of themselves as learners" Resnick, L. B. (1999, June 16). Making America Smarter. Education Week Century Series. 18(40), 38-40 ›š School Mission ›š The mission of our school is to provide a place where love of learning is universal; a place where both children and adults strive toward greater individual and group growth; a place where each child, in his uniqueness, will receive the knowledge and skills to participate fully in society; and a place where all work is respected. |
