Vision for Creighton Charter School - 4

th
Grade

This year I want to lead a structured and invigorating class that will encourage active
engagement and a thirst for knowledge. I intend to make the classroom a safe place in
which my students feel comfortable engaging in literary, mathematical, science, social
studies conversation and experience confidence in asking questions in class regarding the
subject matter. This means giving consistent praise to encourage the positive environment
I want. This also means encouraging positivity through incentives for good behavior and
good performance individually as well as class-wide. I will meet my students on their own
levels, while still providing challenging and rigorous academic content and valuing high
standards. I envision my students knowing they have the agency to control their progress
and achievement in the class. I will encourage this mindset by producing a strong line of
communication and providing/receiving constructive feedback between the students, and
the parents. I will set clear expectations and consequences in the classroom and will also
encourage the students to offer feedback to me regarding their concerns, questions, and
ideas. I want to push the idea of urgency, achievement, and positivity within the
classroom. There is no limit to learning and my students will want to learn and achieve
their goals!
Academic Growth Goals
I am not sure of the academic goals for the students because some are SPED. I will meet
the students and find out using reading levels, and pre-assessments for math, science, and
social studies.


Personal Growth Goals
In addition to the academic growth goals, it is important that our students develop an
ownership of their education, and a passion for learning that will allow them to succeed
in school becoming critical thinkers.

Developing an ownership of their education includes motivated students to be invested in
their education. In order to develop this sense of ownership:
Students will connect class concepts to their lives and to real-world situations in
the surrounding community.
Students will actively participate and ask questions in class daily.
Students will work together, help each other, and learn from each other.
Students will have 90% attendance throughout school year.
Students will work with their teachers to actively take steps towards reaching their
growth goals (one on one.)
Students will be punctual and prepared.
