Deer Park Elementary SchoolCentreville, VA
Design and ImplementationStaff members and community members worked together along with the school district administration to state the Mission and Goals of the school when it was founded. Each year a theme is chosen and specific areas of focus are stressed These areas are highlighted during curriculum night presentations to parents. Staff inservices address the theme and areas of focus. The planning for these activities is done through staff/parent committees, such as the Language Arts Committee, Math and Science Committee, etc. The mission of Deer Park Elementary School is to provide programs to meet the educational needs of all students, while focusing on the development of the whole child. In a safe and nurturing environment, all students will have learning experiences that
We promote respect of all individuals and strive to meet the needs of individual learning styles. The school is a model technology school, using technology as only one tool for learning. For the school year 2000-2001, "science" is an emphasis with the theme "Learning Lights the Way." Each staff member writes three goals each year designed to demonstrate how he/she will individually strive to meet the school's mission, goals and objectives. Members work on grade level teams to design and carry out programs that address the curriculum and learning objectives as stated. In addition, the school has a technology committee with representatives from each grade level or special program that also monitors progress toward technology goals and objectives. Finally, there is a Teacher-Research Team (TRT) whose members investigate various areas of learning and report back to the staff their findings at an end-of-the-year Round Table research presentation session which is usually held in May. |
