The mission of Coleman Elementary is to provide a variety of challenging educational opportunities to meet the needs of individual students in an ever changing and culturally diverse society. Students learning needs should be the primary focus of all decisions impacting the work of the school. Students need to apply their learning in a meaningful context. Students learn in different ways and should be provided with a variety of instructional approaches to support their learning.
Students learn best when they are actively engaged in the learning process.
A student's self esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff. Cultural diversity can increase students' understanding of different people and cultures. Teachers, administrators, parents and the community share the responsibility for advancing the school's mission.
