The Wise Way
We believe each child is....
Unique
•Children
come to us from many different backgrounds and experiences. They come
with diverse strengths/needs, likes/dislikes, hope/fears. They deserve a
differentiated and multiple-intelligence rich educational experience.
•Learning
should take place in an active, fun and consistent setting. Students
deserve hands on learning experiences that will prepare them
academically and socially for the twenty-first century.
We believe in the teacher as...
Role Models
•As
teachers we are role models for many important behaviors and
attitudes. Excitement towards learning and a safe, respectful classroom
environment starts with our positive attitudes and actions.
Facilitators
•It
is our duty and pleasure to create a classroom environment, plan
lessons, and to design supports to facilitate children’s learning. We
create a safe place and scaffold students as they explore, ask
questions, grow and succeed!
Team Coordinators
•As
teachers we are blessed to partner with both parents and students.
Open, clear and frequent communication is key to a successful year for
all involved.
Life Long Learners
•One
of the things we love most about teaching is that we are constantly
exposed to new ideas and situations, requiring us to re-evaluate our
beliefs in education and explore new resources. Professional
development is one of our top priorities so that we can successfully
serve our school community.
