 School
District 146, in partnership with the community, will teach
our children to actively meet life's challenges and create
opportunities as they responsibly build their own and the
world's future.
In teaching our children, we will be mindful of our world's
interdependence and cultural diversity. Our schools will
foster
a safe environment in which children will explore ideas for
continual and accelerating changes in social, technological,
scientific, ecological and political environments. To lead
rich and full lives in this world our children will need
to
acquire:
- A fundamental knowledge base and essential skills in the
major subject areas.
- The ability to apply knowledge and skills in real life
situations.
- The ability to think analytically, logically, critically
and creatively.
- Competence in gathering and using information.
- The capacity to communicate effectively through oral,
written, technological and artistic means.
- The skills needed to work cooperatively in various settings
and situations.
- A set of fundamental values which are commonly held by
the community.
- Emotional, social and physical well being, including self
esteem.
- The capacity to understand, respect and relate to all
people while acknowledging and valuing similarities and
differences.
- The commitment and capacity to be lifelong learners.
