Mrs.Fowler's Classroom Strategic Plan

Vision - Every Child A Scientist 

The astronomer Carl Sagan once said, "Everybody starts out as a
scientist. Every child has the scientist's sense of wonder and awe."
Sustaining this sense of wonder presents teachers, parents, and others
close to children with a tremendous responsibility - and an
extraordinary opportunity.

Mission 

Committed to providing students with an educationally positive
atmosphere where purposeful curriculum and activities support the
values of learning and citizenship.

Ground Rules - Respect for all 

Be Prepared: bring materials, complete homework, and study.  

Be Prompt: be in your seat before the bell rings and 
                       hand in work on time. 

Be Polite: listen, stay focused, be attentive, and be open-minded. 

Be Honest: "If you always tell the truth, you do not have to 
                       remember what you said." "The truth needs no
                       defense." 

SMART Goals - Specific,Measurable,Attainable,Realistic,and Time-bound
