Standards

I believe that my school administrators work to address all the standards mentioned in

ISLLC, but Standard 1, Standard 2, and Standard 4 most st

ick out to me. With the

change in the administration our school has had the opportunity to revisit the mission

and vision (Standard 1), as well as the culture (Standard 2) of the school. In doing so,

the administration has challenged us to give input on th

e direction of the school and

how we feel it can best meet the needs of the students. This is an awesome idea

because it gets buy in from teachers because we now feel we have say In the school

community. This is bringing us together as a school because we

are no longer

representing ourselves and look for personal grades, but now working as a collective

whole. There is also a push for more parent involvement in the school (Standard 4). We

are hosting parent nights and other programs that welcome families to

the school and

let them see the changes that we have for their students. Our administration is very

visible at student activities and strive to get to know community members and families at

these times to build a working relationship.

The biggest differenc

e I see with the push of these three standards is that we are

building a stronger school culture. With everyone working together we are able to

support students in all areas. Teachers working with administration to identify student

issues early so that the

y do not develop into a bigger problem later, and the school

working with families to keep the abreast with student progress.
