MISSION STATEMENT:
Working together, the Jo Mackey community will create
a powerful learning environment to promote the acquisition
of knowledge and development of positive character traits
to prepare students for success in a diverse global society,
and encourage leadership and respect for cultural values.
|
THEME SUMMARY:
Our leadership program is built on the development of
positive Character, strong Citizenship,
and Communications through technology to ensure
students succeed in a global society. |
|
|
| |
|
CHARACTER: |
|
| Students will develop the capacity
for character-based leadership (personal and group) as they
are exposed to lessons and experiences, which promote not
only a clear understanding of desirable character traits,
but habits of actions and reasoning which promote strong
leadership principles. Studies will include examination of
the lives and contributions of global role models who
exemplify positive values and leadership traits.
Through teaching, modeling, and practicing specific principles,
traits, and habits, students will gain the competence and
confidence necessary to become leaders in a global society. |
|
| |
|
|
CITIZENSHIP: |
|
| Students will develop an understanding
of government structures, economics, and service
projects in a global society. Students will be
able to explain and demonstrate ways in which they can be responsible
citizens by engaging in age-appropriate citizenship
within a diverse culture. In addition, students will
continue to expand their knowledge of the rights and
privileges inherent to all individuals . The citizenship
component will offer a unique and engaging learning environment
where students participate in rigorous academic pursuits,
personal growth opportunities, and global experiences to
prepare them for individual fulfillment and personal commitment
to being a productive global citizen. |
|

|
|
GLOBAL COMMUNICATION THROUGH TECHNOLOGY: |
|
| Students will gain proficiency in communication
through technology as they acquire knowledge of the English
language and technology hardware/software. Students will
be introduced to intense foreign language acquisition in Spanish
- Grades K-5 . Students will develop cultural
awareness and appreciation for our diverse society as they
interact and communicate with our global community. The
awareness created by the study of communication will prosper
into appreciation for the similarities and differences among
cultures, economic systems, geography, and world history. |
