Tall oaks take time to grow and mature into magnificent shade trees. It is not an overnight process. It is the same way with Oklahoma children and teachers growing through the Great Expectations experiences. They begin as small acorns, but once the Great Expectations process takes hold, their growth patterns begin to rapidly advance.
Growth continues to take place each year.
The initial phase of Great Expectations has focused on elementary school children and teachers, the foundation of the entire education system. Based on successes at this level, the next phase was to move into the middle schools and high schools. Our young can now be reached at this important transitional age between early childhood and the teen years. But quality is not being sacrificed for the sake of growth. The program is constantly being evaluated as to its effectiveness.
