Achievement
Prep is designed around our five core DREAM
values Determination, Respect, Enthusiasm, Accountability and Mastery. This
simple acronym serves as a cultural touchstone and drives all that we do. DREAM represents the larger
school vision of what we want our students to do on a daily basis, as well as each
individual value included in the acronym. We
want our students to dream a life larger than their current surroundings. The values expressed in the acronym itself
should be used consistently as an overall roadmap or guide for behavior.
¨
Determination is working hard
and staying focused despite challenges in my academics or personal life.
¨
Respect is treating others with politeness, consideration, and appreciation.
¨
Enthusiasm is
having excitement for and interest in my learning.
¨
Accountability
is
taking responsibility for my actions, no matter how big or small.
¨
Mastery is
striving for the highest standard in my academic and daily actions at all times.
Our Be the DREAM class will serve as the primary means of
explicitly teaching school culture and expectations. The
expected outcomes from the class will help our students become strong scholars and
responsible citizens.
Achievement
focused school culture We believe our
approach to behavior is just as important as our focus on academics. Student expectations
will be clear and consistently enforced by all members of the Achievement Prep community.
Instructional
excellence At Achievement
Prep we do not just expect excellence from our students. We expect excellence from
all members of our school community. All teachers will commit to providing students with
high level, quality instruction and support. We believe that great teachers model and
practice the expectations we set for our students. All Achievement Prep staff members will
also display excellence in their speech, attire and attitudes.
Parents as partners Achievement Prep will form a
collaborative partnership of students, parents and teachers who will work together to
support student achievement and create a strong school community. By working closely with
parents, we will fulfill our schools mission and empower the dreams and aspirations
of our students and their families. |
