A1. School Purpose The school has established a clear vision and mission (purpose) that reflects the beliefs and philosophy of the institution. The purpose is defined further by adopted school wide learner outcomes that form the basis of the educational program for every student. (Note: school purpose is a general term for terminology used by schools such as core beliefs, vision, mission, or philosophy and objectives.) Beliefs and Philosophy Indicator: The written mission and vision (purpose) reflects the beliefs and philosophy of the school and its constituency. Prompt: Evaluate the written purpose in relationship to the beliefs and philosophy of the school and its constituency served. Findings AIJMS has established a clear statement of purpose, which reflects the beliefs and school’s philosophy since 1998. The purpose is aligned with the GDOE vision serving as the school’s overall umbrella in ensuring that all students graduate and apply their learning to real life in the work force or in higher education. The AIJMS community continues to nurture student values such as education, respect, scholarship, and cooperation. Through their experiences at AIJMS, students will also acquire knowledge and positive attitudes to become life-long learners and be responsible citizens in our community. Our mission is defined by our SLOs. The SLOs, formerly known as the ESLRs were adopted during SY 98-99, revised in SY 01-02, and discussed with stakeholders every year. Throughout the school year, administrators, teachers, and staff demonstrate a strong commitment to the mission and SLOs, which is evident in daily school operations and activities. The SLOs school’s continue to guide instruction and facilitate the learning process and include indicators written in acrostic fashion, forming the word PIRATES, which is the mascot. Under each SLO school’s are sub-indicators that specify what students do to demonstrate knowledge of each learning outcome. (see Appendix A) Supporting Evidence banners group development of rubrics for the SLOs as they relate to their content areas rubric (see Appendix E) plans Purpose, Schoolwide Learner Outcomes, and Profile Data The student/community profile data has impacted the development of the Indicator: school’s vision and mission and school wide learning outcomes. Prompt: Evaluate the degree to which the development of the vision, mission, and school’s school wide learner outcomes have been impacted by pertinent student/community profile data and identified future global competencies, and current educational research.
