School Mission Statement
Bailey's educational mission is to empower and motivate students to achieve profiency, or their personal learning best, in literacy and mathematics through delivery of explicit instruction and ongoing assessment. Our goal, then, is to instruct in ways that challenge and improve student thinking as a way to increase a child's capacity to make connections between their prior knowledge, experiences, and new information. Bailey also upholds a strong committment to creating a learning environment that is safe and orderly- a community that supports and nurtures the whole child.
Since our beginning in 2000, Bailey's faculty and staff have forged a cohesive, unified, school community. Our purpose has evolved to include implementation of a behavior modification model, which has a primary focus on integrating and differentiating teaching across grade levels. These reform goals are strengthened by a strong focus to instill in our teaching the practice of continually looking at student work- and at the assessment of student achievement data. This information is interpreted into a delivery system of explicit instruction used to increase individual, whole class, and whole school performance.
The faculty and staff agree it is essential to motivate students to achieve academic proficiency or their personal learning best, so that they may become contributing members of our American society, equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to meet the challenges of our ever-changing world- preparing them for life, and the workplace. |
