We believe that the most promising strategy for achieving the mission of Springer Elementary is to develop our capacity to function as a Professional Learning Community.
We envision a school in which staff: -Instruct with enthusiasm and work positively together for the benefit of each child and are consistent in all aspects of instruction across grade levels. We will use data to identify the standards each student needs to master for proficiency and modify instruction to achieve student growth.
Work together cooperatively with parents and students to support the school with genuine effort.
Develop a school climate that is welcoming and fun, where instruction is demanding (high expectations),and demonstrate concern for and celebrate student achievement.
Demonstrate a personal commitment to bring all students to or above grade level academically.
Create a learning environment where students take responsibility for their learning and behavior, and
plan for a successful future.
Teachers will utilize data to write and implement action plans to meet student needs
Work cooperatively with parents and provide support for academic achievement at home.
