Staff Philosophy:
The most effective way to educate children is through a multi-methodological approach.
All students should have access to the Ohio Academic Content Standards, including the Extended Standars. Curriculum materials should be modified to progress student learning.
Skill development is imperative to student success: attention, imitation, communication and language, social relationships, symbolic play, imagination, self-regulation & fine/ gross motor.
All behavior has a communicative purpose and it is our responsibility to assess and strive to determin the communicative intent of each behavior.
All students should be respected as intelligent individuals and be challenged to meet their fullest potential.
Families need to be active partners in their child's education process.
Vocational education is an important part of educational programming.
Community participation, involvement, and awareness is essential for student success.
