GOALS FOR STUDENT LEARNING

 The School Board believes that a quality education provides an opportunity for each student to develop:

  1. Mastery of the basic skills and a working knowledge of mathematics, technology, reading, language arts (including effective oral and written communication), the sciences, geography, history, government and citizenship, world languages and fine arts, physical education, health and nutrition. Mastery of these important skills should incorporate information gathering and application to real-world situations, developing problem-solving and decision-making skills and learning to work effectively in a group process as well as individually.

  2. Skills and other competencies leading toward economic independence consistent with the individual's interests and basic potential.

  3. Skills to think logically and critically.

  4. An awareness and understanding of the history and ideals of Alaska and the United States and their diverse ethnic, racial and cultural heritage.

  5. An awareness and understanding of the heritage, ideals and contributions of other cultures, races and countries.

  6. The capability of students to appreciate beauty in literature, art, music and nature, and to recognize, value and use creativity.

  7. The concept of self-worth and the ability to exercise self-discipline.

  8. A positive attitude toward responsible citizenship.

  9. A recognition for the importance of physical and mental health through the development of skills for a healthy life.

  10. An ability to adapt and participate constructively in a changing society.
