Backus Charter School
Mission Statement :
This is how you would describe your school to others. The Northwest Regional Laboratory suggests that Charter Mission Statements might want to answer three questions:
Whom do you seek to serve?
What do you seek to accomplish?
How will you proceed (what methods will you use).
This means that a mission statement should include:
Ages and other characteristics of students you intend serve,
Curriculum philosophy and instructional approaches you intend to use
An overall goal or two of the school.
One or two special features of the school.
Here are some sample missions:
Our mission is to help urban students who have not succeeded in traditional secondary schools prepare for work, active citizenship, and post-secondary, using a combination of classroom work and community internships
Our mission is to help inner city k-6 students develop higher order thinking skills, peacemaking skills and leadership abilities in an environment of shared values of nonviolence, equality and unity, by using a combination of the Core Knowledge Curriculum and Direct Instruction
Our mission is to partner effectively with the YMCA so that we help prepare middle school students to be responsible citizens, good workers and faithful family members
Our school strives to be a racially and culturally diverse community of students, parents and staff, dedicated to creating a peaceful environment in each person is treated with unconditional positive regard and acceptance. Within such an environment, each student, k-12, will be empowered and inspired to reach his or her full academic, emotional, physical and spiritual potential (part of the Community of Peace mission)
Vision Statement :
If your school is extremely successful over the next three- five years, how will people describe your school? Think about the answer as you begin to develop the vision. Here are some samples:
Our vision is to create a nationally known inner city elementary school that produces major gains in student achievement, and helps make the neighborhood in which it is located a much more pleasant place in which to live and work
Our vision is to create one of the state's most effective schools helping secondary student who have not succeeded in traditional schools, prepare for, and be accepted into, post-secondary education
Our vision is to create an extremely effective k-8 rural school that not only produces very high levels of student achievement, but also helps train the next generation of rural teachers.
Our vision is to create a k-12 school that is highly regarded for its academic excellence, and for its contribution in actively serving and improving the community in which it operates.
A vision is more than broad, flowery statements. The vision helps people understand how you hope others will view you, and describes some of your highest priorities.
