Initiating and managing change are necessary for continuous improvement. All children have a right to safety, love, and learning. Every individual has inherent worth. Self-esteem is directly related to success. Schools need to encourage students to achieve success.
Children are our community's most valuable asset.
High standards and clear expectations are essential in education Objectives . Whereas the traditional model for accreditation did not hold a school accountable for student learning, accreditation under the AFG model rests almost entirely on a school's ability to demonstrate growth in student performance over time. The Planning Team established two ambitious student-performance objectives for the AFG Plan. The first aims to increase the academic performance and motivation of students in level 2 and 3 classes. Progress toward meeting this objective will be measured by these students' performance on SAT's and PSSA tests, by the number of these students taking and succeeding in AP courses and AP tests, by the number of these students who move into higher level classes by virtue of strong academic performance, by the number of these students who achieve the Honor Roll, by an increase in the average GPA of these students, by the level of participation in co-curricular activities of these students, and by the kinds of colleges to which these students apply, as rated by Peterson's college guides.
