Mitchell Intermediate School Vision:
We believe that the most promising strategy for achieving the mission of our school is to develop our capacity to function as a professional learning community. We envision a school in which the staff works collaboratively so that students, teachers, and parents will view our school as a true “learning community.” We will accomplish this by ensuring the following:
- The staff constantly seeks out the most promising best practices that support student learning.
- The school is characterized by a collaborative culture in which all educators are committed to the responsibility to help students learn at high levels.
- The learning of each student is monitored on an ongoing basis and opportunities for remediation and enrichment are provided.’
- The administration supports teachers’ continuous learning and ongoing professional development.
- The organizational structure of learning communities and looping allow teachers to know and understand their students’ instructional and social/emotional needs through the continuity of a two-year relationship.
