Preparing Students for a Rapidly Changing World
|
Vision:
Sherwood Githens Middle School is committed to promoting the rights, welfare, and educational needs of all students by establishing protocols that equip all students with transferable skills, promote academic independence, equity and excellence, foster social responsibility, and inspire a passion for learning. We envision nurturing learning environments and supportive, student-centered classroom communities that promote the personal empowerment, academic growth, and social-emotional well-being of all learners. We envision high quality, rigorous instruction that uses inquiry-based, collaborative instructional strategies to challenge and engage students in content, resulting in increasingly complex levels of understanding. We envision empowering staff to implement culturally responsive instructional strategies in order for all students to explore real-world examples, explore their individual interests, share their unique stories and experiences, and support them on their personal pathways to academic success. |
Mission:
The mission of Sherwood Githens Middle School is to provide an environment where equity drives the continuing growth of our existing culture and our educational system to support positive outcomes for all students. |
