Norwood Creek School Forum Bulletin Board
Norwood's Mission Norwood's school motto, 'Learning
Lasts a Lifetime' embodies our educational direction.
We believe that all children must be given
access to a comprehensive core of knowledge, skills,
and attitudes that will foster a love for learning,
develop respect for self and others, and provide the
basis for a lifetime of learning.
The Norwood School community is committed
to academic excellence. We believe that all children
can learn in a supportive environment and that the teacher's
role is to facilitate learning.
We believe that learning should be joyful
and that questions are as important as answers.
We believe in the necessity of involving
students in decision making and shared responsibility
for making the classroom a good place to be and to learn.
We believe that diversity enriches the community, and
that children need to perceive themselves as valued
members of the school community.
We believe that the school must be a safe
haven where the dignity of every person is respected.
We believe that students need to learn
to give to others and to their community, and that parents
and the larger community must be involved in educating
our children.
These beliefs form the basis of the school's
goals, of which we have three: To engage all students
in powerful, meaningful learning experiences and a rich
thinking curriculum. To develop every child's social,
ethical, emotional, physical, and intellectual potential.
To involve parents in their children's education.
