Because the students were so committed toward reaching their goals during the 1996-97 school year, they reminded us of the strength, pride, and spirit of an eagle. As the Instructional Lead Teacher at Ruth Hill, I have the opportunity to work with the faculty and staff, the students and the parents as we strive to create a learning environment in which all can excel. Plan has helped us to focus on the three A s central to the improvement process at Ruth Hill Attitude, Attendance and Achievement. We like to think that it is the many innovative programs in place at Ruth Hill that characterize the vision and the commitment of faculty and staff. Another essential component of the academic success at Ruth Hill has been the increase in parental involvement.
Parents are truly partners in the educational endeavors of the school.
As the lead teacher, I have found it both exciting and rewarding to focus on how we as a school community could improve the academic achievement of our students. To prevent problems from developing through preventive counseling programs. To help identify children with special needs or those with developmental difficulties. To provide crisis intervention for students and staff members. To coordinate or facilitate efforts of others.
