Philosophy Statement
The philosophy
of The RSEC Academy is based on the belief that students can learn how
to read and write. It is never too late to begin or continue systematic
instruction in basic learning skills, and this instruction must occur in
multiple environments. Every environment is an opportunity to learn to
read and write. Reading and writing can, and should, be taught in conjunction
with the instruction in content areas. Students have a variety of learning
styles or patterns of strengths and weaknesses. Students also vary in their
levels of multiple intelligences. With this in mind, The RSEC Academy will
take every opportunity to capitalize on student strengths. Instruction,
as well as evaluations, of learning will utilize nonverbal intelligence,
which is a valid and valuable learning tool. At The RSEC Academy, a student's
self esteem is based on authentic success. The student must be an integral
part of planning and assessment. The first step in gaining the cooperation
of a student is to demonstrate objective proof of genuine progress toward
shared learning objectives. This demonstration of proficiency will build
a student's confidence and skills to provide a successful re-entry into
the public school. |
