At the elementary level, students possess the opportunity to attend a neighborhood school or a school of choice (by lottery). The schools of choice (focus schools) include Carpenter (year round school in session from near the beginning August to the end of June), Stadium (arts focused school), and Orion Oaks (classrooms with students of varying ages). The outstanding education continues through middle school and high school. As a bonus, Lake Orion High School consistently excels in sports and was additionally home to the 2008 state runner up football team!

As a new charter school located in a vibrant neighborhood in Wilmington, our school has worked directly with neighbors, community groups, local nonprofit organizations and local elected and government leaders to establish a good relationship and prepare the way for our students and families to benefit from our neighborhood and location.

Covington Street Elementary (CSE) is a wonderful school to be apart of. When you walk in the doors you can feel the sense of security and compassion. In order for students and teachers to be focused on learning and teacher, it has to be a safe environment. According to the Teacher Working Conditions Survey (TWCS) of 2016, 100% of the staff felt like they worked in a school environment that is safe. All areas on the TWCS involving managing student conduct was rated about 87% or higher. Teachers, 87% felt that school administrators consistently enforce rules for student conduct.

Our biggest concern following the fours was not whether the kindergarten program would teach our children to read, write and learn math skills, but that they would be challenged in these skills. Even though they are different in many ways, Holly Jane and Cate, now 9 and 7, are eager to learn. During their four years at Second, they were supported and encouraged to take charge of their learning. We could have confidently sent both our girls on to kindergarten in the public schools in Oldham county after the fours. In doing so, we would have saved several thousand dollars. This would have been a choice we would later regret.

One of the requirements for the civic and social skills portion of core values and beliefs is the appreciation, respect, and understanding of similarities and differences among people. This is something that every person practices at Brockton High School everyday, but especially in my classroom. My class often has debates/discussions about all different types of topics. We could speak about controversial topics or even current events that are going on within Brockton High. By listening and responding to others’ opinions, we appreciate, respect, and understand the similarities and differences of people. When somebody is speaking, everyone focuses their attention on that person speaking and does not interrupt them, which is appreciating what

While my current teaching approach is more creative curriculum and high scope based there are still elements I think should be controlled by the adults such as; environment, assessment, adult-child interactions, and daily routine (Jaruszewicz, 2012). High Scope Curriculum incorporates important goals to include thinking about actions and interactions, problem solving, and self-directed learning.

The vision of the school is to work collaboratively with parents to provide a safe learning environment that fosters academic achievement through intellectual, social, emotional growth and development to reach the highest potential for each student.

According to Mrs. Steadham, the principal at Lone Oak Elementary, It is essential for a curriculum leader to be aware of the “data” available when designing the curriculum. Progress monitoring and benchmarking, whether formally or informally, can provide valuable feedback on the effectiveness of a particular curriculum. Informal observations, interviews, and performance tasks can provide proof of understanding, as well. The final step, developing a learning plan, will allow teachers the opportunity to design the instructional strategies and activities that will culminate into a greater understanding of the curriculum unit (Wiggins and McTigue, 2005).
