In all grades, technology is identified as an important tool for the learning process, in part due to its role in enhancing creativity and providing meaningful learning opportunities. Character education is also seen as an essential element in all learning activities. Above all, Obee is centered on the belief that all people can learn and deserve equitable opportunities to excel. With this in mind, several opportunities allow students with differing academic abilities to experience success. Learning comes from the inside out at Obee.
Students take control of their own learning.
Student goal-setting, in collaboration with teachers and parents, begins this process of empowerment. Development of individual portfolios further allows students to track their journey of learning. Time for student-involved conferences allows these learners to share their academic stories with parents. Teachers at Obee also continue their own stories as learners. District-wide staff development opportunities are planned in accordance with the National Standards for Staff Development.
