Based on what we know works for students, we unveiled our Promoting School Success initiative 9 months ago. Our teachers told us that the 3 key elements to improving student success are:
Safe and Orderly Schools-implementing a consistent discipline policy,
Interventions for Struggling Students- including the elimination of social promotion, and
Creating a Parent & Teacher Alliance- working together for students
We remain committed to providing a great public school for every child through a rigorous academic program so that we can prepare our students to become 21st century leaders.
To affirm this commitment, we are proud to announce that DCTA submitted a Letter of Intent today through the district's RFP Process. We are proposing to operate and manage a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Leadership Academy. It will be a school in which students will acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to succeed in a knowledge-based global economy and become 21st century leaders.
Our team will spend the next month talking with parents, community, and other experts as we develop our full RFP proposal. If approved, we would be the only teacher union run school in the state.
