a. teacher-student: Perseverance
b. teacher-parent: Truthfulness
c. teacher-teacher: Trustworthiness
d. staff- administrator: Commitment
Bender CFE
1. Respect, responsible, confidence, loyalty, commitment
I chose these words because almost all CFE employees display these qualities at some point throughout the school year and they are some of the CFE character traits that all staff takes serious enough to demonstrate in order to be good role models for the students.
2. a.teacher – student = respect, responsible
b.teacher – parent = confidence
c.teacher – teacher = loyalty
d.staff – administrator = commitment
To RPPS
I agree that initiative is also something that is shown here at CFE and is extremely important in keeping the school running smoothly.
Insco CFE
The best words to describe our school-wide climate would be commitment, expectations, achievement and dedication.
The reason I chose these words were the commitment shown by each employee at our school to the welfare not only the education of our students, the expectations we have for each of our students to become the best they can be, achievement goals we have for ourselves and our students and knowing that they can achieve when given the right tools to do so and the dedication from our staff to implement all these aspects of our chosen roles.

Persistent, Commitment, Collaboration, -
Collaborate with grade level colleagues, specialists and other staff to help each child succeed and create a learning environment within our school. Due to limited resources and funding, we as a staff have found it a necessity to step outside the box and be more creative to ensure our commitment to student achievement is met.
a-teacher- student—compassion
b-teacher-parent—commitment
c-teacher- teacher-- collaboration
d-staff-administrator—community
We agree with Hudson at CFE in that persistence and commitment are critical traits of teachers and parents in helping each student succeed in school. We are all willing to do what is necessary to help each individual student reach his/her individual goals, make progress and be successful at school, home and the community.
D. Brown RPP
I believe that commitment is the best choice for our school wide climate. We are working to help our students excel and to do their very best. We are here for them and we strive meet their needs.
a. teacher-student:respect
b. teacher-parent-truthfulness
c. teacher-teacher-perseverance
d. staff-administration-commitment
I agree with Hudson at CFE that commitment is very important as we work with our students. I believe that we also work very hard to help our students do their best. I see a lot of team work present and we strive to communicate with other staff member who are willing to help us. We are family and we need each other. I feel very blessed to be a part of the staff here at Rocky Point Primary.
1. I believe our core values revolve around school achievement, respect, and dedication. Simply becuase we are a dedicated staff that will do anything to better our students. We respect our students and parents wishes and aslo each other as a staff.
2.
a. cher-student: respect
b. cher-parent: respect, understanding
c. cher-teacher: respect, dedication, trust
d. staff-administrator: respect, dedication
One word that was not even listed was caring, which I feel is appropriate to this school. You have alot of people caring, from Mr. Artie sitting every day at lunch with students, to administrative assistants reflecting on the best way to help and take care of "these babies". We are also a compassionate school, people going the extra yard to make a student or fellow staff member feel important.
teacher student - self actualizing (ok, I know it isn't listed, but, we try to make a student reach his/her potential.
teacher parent - communication - I find the parents easy to talk to, they and I want the best healthy lifestyle for their kid.
teacher teacher - trust
staff administrator - trust - we rust each other to do the job we are trained for.
RPP: Flynn, Eakins, Philips, Hope, Collins
Committed best describes our school-wide climate and culture. All teachers are committed to helping students move forward and meet their individual needs. Children are put first in everything and teachers work hard to help children achieve their goals. We are committed to not only the school environment but also the community as a whole.
a.teacher-student persistent
b. teacher-parent integrity
c. teacher-teacher perseverance
d. staff-administration dedication
Rpp: Flynn, Eakins, Philips, Hope, Collins
We agree with Hudson from CFE. Each child is an individual and you need to look for the right ways to meet each child's individual needs. Collaboration is the key to helping all children succeed. We can not do it all alone and must depend on other staff members and family as key components to moving students forward.
TO respond to Mandy, all those are great words to describe what should be happening at the school. If we are truly dedicated to providing the best quality education for all, these words must be imbedded in the school synergy and culture.
1.RAMS - Respect, Attitude, Manners, Safety. We chose these values because they are the qualities feel believe our students and staff should exhibit.
2. The following are values we feel SHOULD exist between each of the listed relationships:
a)Compassion
b)Trustworthiness
c)Respect
d)Justice, Fairness
RE: Chris, CFE
We agree caring is an important value that should be emphasized at home and especially at the primary school level.
Payne, Bahlmann, Holmes, Mills, Adams, Moore
In response to what Chris says..We think that caring is a very important word too. Not only should we as teachers care about our students but we should show them how and what "care" means. From taking care of the materials we give then to caring for one another and their feelings. We think that "care" is a word that is left out of alot of these children's homes.
1. I would have to say that collaboration best defines our school. We chat regularly about our students and the different ways to meet their needs.
2. What core value or words best defines each of the following relationships:
a. teacher-student = I believe determination best says the way we look at each child. No matter where they are, we are determined to take them further.
b. teacher-parent = I think we respect our parents and the many cultures they come from.
c. teacher-teacher = Reflection shows us what we are and how we can improve. We must learn from each other and take that knowledge to be our best.
d. staff- administrator Citizenship is the way we show our respect for those who are there to help us improve.
I think Ms. Bender hits the nail on the head when she says that loyalty is a big deal with teacher to teacher relationships. That should not only be established throughout a school, but throughout the school system.
The core value that I think defines RPP is fortitude. I chose fortitude because no matter what the obstacles we keep on going. Even this year we have held it together with all the budget cuts and are working hard on helping our kids to success.
The value I think that defines a.teacher-student is commitment,b. teacher-parent is accountability,c.teacher-teacher is respect,d.staff- administrator is diligence.
I agree with Ms. Bender that it is important for the staff to be great role models for the students.
I really like carolyn_lunsfordRPP’s choice of the word fortitude. It applies perfectly to teachers. It takes dedication, determination, courage, strength, resilience, stamina and staying power to teach – Fortitude!
CFE Sikes
The core values that I believe best define CFE are commitment, courage, determination, respect, and responsible. I believe that our staff is fully commited to helping each student reach his/her maximum potenital. We are not afraid to try different strategies, some that are even out of our comfort zone, in hopes that we can better meet the needs of our students.
a. teacher-student: respect, kindness,perserverance, persistent, trust
b. teacher-parent: respect, trust, restraint, fairness, compassion
c. teacher-teacher: Loyality, trust, collaboration
d. staff-administrator: trust, diligence, fairness,initiative
RPPS: D.Redinger, A. Johnson, M. Younginer, A. Garner, J. Kingston, S. Cioffi, A. Purgason, A. Blake
I agree that collaboration is so important within a school. Not only should we be collaborating with grade level partners, but also with other grade levels and specialists and support staff. We must be aware of the different learning styles of our students, and find ways to meet this needs. Many times we forget about the resources avaliable to us!
The core values I think best describe CFE are: commitment, kindness, and persistent. I think these words describe our school the best because our staff is always doing what is best for our students, and each other. We have accepted the responsibility of preparing our students for the high expectations of upcoming grades and we are committed to fulfilling this role. Also, our staff is willing to go above and beyond to help our fellow colleagues in times of need.
Oops...I forgot the 2nd question!
a. teacher-student: commitment
b. teacher-parent: respect
c. teacher-teacher: trustworthiness
d. staff-administrator: respect, and accountability
Response to Carolyn Lunsford:
I like what you said about fortitude. This year has been tough for everyone with the budget cuts and continued increase in expectations, but we have continued to do our best and meet these expectations and hardships head-on.
I believe that commitment and persistent defines our staff and climate. Everyday I see staff members striving to meet the needs of our students and to do that we have to be a group of persistent individuals who don't give up, regardless of the challenges and obstacles that we face.
a. teacher-student: respect
b. teacher-parent: collaboration
c. teacher-teacher: collaboration
d. staff-administrator: accountability
In response to D. Brown at RPP, I agree with you that we are here for our students and when we accept that responsibility it takes commitment on everyone's part to help our students excel and to become the best that they can be.
Some of the words that best define our school-wide climate are: citizenship, compassion, determination,and fortitude. I believe that these traits are exhibited by students and staff members daily. We care for each other, and share a determination and fortitude to get the job done!
The following core values best define the following relationships:
a. teacher-student.....commitment
b. teacher-parent......partnership
c. teacher-teacher....collaboration
d. staff-administrator
accountability
I agree with Mandy, that a respectful environment and a positive attitude are so important. Safety and the establishment of these traits to encourage a love of learning for our students are so necessary for our success.
The overall core value which our school represents is that of "preserverance". No matter what the circumstances, the high expectations from the state, the low parent involvement, or the lack of accountability students sometimes show, we "remain steadfast in the pursuit" of educating our students to the best of our ability.
The relationship with our students is best expressed by "committment" because we are committed to educating them no matter what occurs.
The teacher-parent relationship is best described by "integrity" because we are honest and moral in all our communications with them.
Our teacher to teacher relationships are characterized by "respect" because we know that each and every one of us are here for the same purpose and that is to serve these students to the best of our abilities. We are all in this together.
Our staff to administration could best be described by "collaberation" because we all work together to develop plans and strategies to do what is best for the students.
I agree with Bogan about it being important to work with and learn from each other as teachers. Reflection is an important tool for growth.
Collaboration, Compassion, Community Service, and Determination are words that describe the school-wide climate at CFE.
There is collaboration happening all the time around the school with hopes of communicating something once more in a different way to benefit our students.
Our staff members demonstrate determination everyday. This staff is determined to show our students that they can reach their full potential.
Compassion and Community Service are two values that are prevalent around our school constantly. These values keep staff appreciative and grateful for such kindness and wanting to show those same kindnesses to others.
A. Teacher-Student: Commitment
B. Teacher-Parent: Truthfulness
C. Teacher-Teacher: Collaboration
D. Staff-Administrator: Trustworthiness
D. Brown,
I agree with you as well. Commitment is very important and if there isn't commitment toward our students and collegues, then we nor our students will be successful in reaching our goals.
When I think about the core value for our climate and culture resilience seems to stand out to me. We continue to towards our goals despite challenges, obstacles, misfortunes, and circumstances beyond our control.
Teacher/ student – Diligence, teachers are persistent in caring out their responsibilities to make sure every student is successful.
Teacher/ Parents – Courage
Teacher/ Teacher- Collaboration
Staff/ Administration- Respect
RPPS: Bishop, Brown, Bullard, Caison, Houseman, Howell, Weiss, Witherspoon
1. Compassion- With our demographics and ages of students, we need to be emotionally nurturing, as well as welcoming to different backgrounds and needs. We feel that compassion is the value that drives us and every other core value falls under that umbrella.

Responses:
@CFE Teachers: We noticed that a number of teachers were unified in the vision of their staff-administrator relationship that was defined with "accountability". What methods do you use and measure your accountability with? This is a great relationship to have!
@CFE Sikes
We really liked what you said about stepping out of your comfort zone to meet the needs of students. As teachers who recently received new technology in our classrooms, we are stepping into unknown territory to meet the needs of our students in new and different ways.
Commitment and collaboration best describe our school-wide climate.We chose these values because our Teachers, Office staff, TA's as well as the rest of the RPP staff are committed in collaborating with one another in keeping our children safe, educated, nurished, healthy and respectful.
a. teacher-student:Respect- Responsibility
b. teacher-parent:Commitment
c. teacher-teacher:Honesty
d. staff-administrator:Respect
We agree with Cris that caring should be included on the list of core values. Caring is what drives students to achieve their fullest potential. Children need to know someone cares!
Commitment best describes our school. We are committed to making sure that all students succeed...whatever it takes.
teacher-student= caring
teacher-parent= communication
teacher-teacher= respect
staff-administrator= trust
I agree with Mandy that manners are definitely important...wish they were used more often!
All the Core values apply at some point to CFES satff, but a few jump out more, meeting our daily challenges: Diligence, Integrity, Justice, and resilience.I chose the innate values that make our staff shine.
a. teacher-student: Determination
b. teacher-parent: Courage
& Persistence
c. teacher-teacher: Respect
d. staff- administrator: Initiative
I reponse to D. Brown at RRP, I too feel we are committed to provide the best possible learning experience to our students at CFES. After all... we wouldn't be in this business if we couldn't fully commit to the students.(Even if we all end up being comitted!)
I think our school shows commitment, compassion, respect, kindness, determination, and initiative. We are all hard working and do everything possible to help the students--not just the ones in our classroom--and to help each other. It is nice to know I work with people I consider my family and know they would be there for anything I would need--just like they are for every child that comes through our doors.
a. teacher-student: respect and reflection.
b. teacher-parent: collaboration
c. teacher-teacher: trust, respect
d. staff-administrator: commitment
To Mandy Harrell RPPS--I love your comment about creating a "love of learning for a lifetime." That just sums up what our ultimate goal should be!

2.d. repect, commitment, kindess, perseverance
I think that commitment, perseverance, and reflection best define CFE's climate. Our staff is dedicated to doing what is best for all students. Even thought there are many challenges along the way, we continue to reflect on the best way to reach our students.
teacher-student: respect
teacher-parent: collaboration
teacher-teacher: collaboration
staff-administrator: commitment
I agree with Stephanie Cioffie and her colleagues when they stated that we much step outside of the box in order to meet our student's needs. Our resources are only becoming more limited, and we need to think creatively and be resilient.
1. Commitment - I see our staff acting responsibly and applying themselves to meeting their educational as well as emotional needs.
fortitude - We teach in a Title 1 school with students that have many outside influences that effect their education before they even walk in the door. Our staff keeps on doing what they can to meet their needs and give them the best education possible.
kindness - I see many of our staff going way beyond what is expected to help children have the things they need. We have a clothes closet. We have a place where children can get food to take home if needed. I've seen teachers buy children clothing because what they have is not clean or does not fit properly.
respect - Our staff treats each other with respect and professionalism.
2. a. teacher-student: diligence
b. teacher - parent: fairness
c. teacher - teacher: respect
d. staff - administrator: accountbility
I like what Mandy about RPPS. I see that at CFE also and I think we have many of the same values at our school,
Chis hit the nail on the head. We have a caring environment at our school. Mr. Artie is wonderful with our students. He makes every student feel cared for. Many of our staff member go the extra mile.
I agree with Carolyn Lunsford at RPP. Fortitude is a necessary ingredient in every school to make it successful. The budget cuts have made things difficult and not getting our pay raise hurts us in many ways, but we keep on going because we love what we do.
Compassion is the best description for our school. I know the teachers care about the students academic needs, as well as their social/emotional needs and their families. The food drive, backpack program, Haiti Relief fund, Relay for Life are some of the things that we do here to support and show compassion to our parents and other people we do not know.
a. teacher-student-persistent
b. teacher-parent Responsibility
c. teacher-teacher: Respect
d. staff-administrator: integrity
I like what Mandy wrote about being enthusiastic. I think students are very perceptive. If we are enthusiastic the students and parents will grab hold of that feeling as well.
The core values I think best define our current school-wide climate and culture here at CFE are commitment, determination, and perseverance. I chose these words because no matter how many curve balls we seem to be thrown...WE NEVER GIVE UP!!! Our students and colleagues are so important to us that no matter how frustrated we get, we bind together and push forward.
teacher-student: persistent
teacher-parent: collaboration
teacher-teacher: commitment
staff-administrator: accountability
To Carolyn @ RPP...FORTITUDE is definitely the "word of the year". With all the budget cuts, its so amazing to see staff join together to help and collaborate ways we can still make learning meaningful and fun for our kids.
Community Service, Compassion, Collaboration, and Determination describe the school-wide climate at CFE. There is collaboration happening at our school at all times in hopes of benefiting students.Our staff works hard to show our students that they can reach their full potential. This is evient in the many after school events that we hold. Compassion and Community Service are two prevalent values at our school.We take initiative to plan events, feed parents and expect them to succeed.

marie@cfe
Tiffany @ RPP:
1.The core value that best defines RPP's climate/culture is committment and determination. RPP staff totally accepts responsibility and apply ourselves to educating the students. Along with the accepting this responsibility, we are determined in this task.
2. The following values define the relationships below to me
a.teacher-student: persistent
We refuse to give up and work hard to help our students no matter what.
b.teacher-parent: collaboration
I always say that this relationship is to be a partnership
c.teacher-teacher: collaboration
We no longer work in an environment where we are on an island.
d. staff-administrator: resilience
No matter what we do or how we feel we have to be resilient in our relationship and work towards our goal
To Mandy:
I agree whole-heartedly on the values you wrote that define the various relationships. I found it difficult to choose just one word that defined the relationship because there are sooo many that go together to define them.
To CFEWILLIAMS
The values that you use to define CFE are those that I would also use to define educators in general. It is such a blessing to have co-workers that help to epitomize those values of CFE and education. I think we all have to remember that at CFE and RPP we have the same goals for the same kids. We have the honor of sharing the students we teach and a partnership amongst our two schools.
teacher-student: commitment teacher-parent: respect
teacher-teacher: trustworthiness
staff-administrator: respect
marie@cfe
I also agree with Stephanie Cioffie that we need to step outside of the box to meet our student's needs. Our resources are becoming more limited, and we need to think creatively to promote student success.
marie@cfe
1 Responsible and commitment best describes our school. Everyone takes on the responsibilities and works really hard to be sure that every student is given the best education we can provide for them. Commitment also describes our school because every member tries to be there for everyone else. We stick by each other and given each other the support we need.
2.teacher-student-respect, commitment
teacher-parent- trust, truthfulness
teacher-teacher-loyalty, respect
staff-administration-partners in learning
I agree with Mandy, a respectful envirnoment is a good quality for a school to have.
Two core words come to mind when I think about CFE. The first word that describes our school is commitment. I feel that everyone at our school accepts the responsibility for reaching and teaching all learners. We are all steadfast in our efforts to achieve the high standards and goals we set for our students; thus perseverance is the second word that comes to mind.
a. teacher-student: Respect, Trust, and Accountability
b. teacher-parent: Collaboration
c. teacher-teacher: Collaboration
d. staff-administrator: Trust, Accountability
I like what Carolyn at RPP had to say about Fortitude, and obstacles that we constantly have to overcome. It is amazing to me how creative teachers can be when faced with budget cuts, etc. We are like Energizer Bunnies ----- we just keep going, and going, and going!
The core values that I believe best define CFE are commitment, persistence, respect, collaboration, and responsibility. All staff at CFE are committed to helping each student reach his or her maximum potenital. We try different strategies, collaborating with one another hoping to find a way to reach this student, or those students, or that student. We feel it our responsibility to fulfill high expectations others set for us as well as those we set for ourselves, even to the point of feeling discouraged when they are not reached. Persistence and partnership between teachers comes in here as well. Sometimes it takes a another teacher to help bring us out of our discouragement when we are extremely tough on ourselves. Respect of other teachers, students, parents, and administrators should be a no brainer. But I have seen many places where there is no respect, be it for parents, students, or staff. When respect isn't there other values such as trust and collaboration are impossible.
a. teacher-student:
respect, kindness, persistent, trust
b. teacher-parent:
respect, trust, restraint, compassion, partnership
c. teacher-teacher:
loyality, trust, collaboration
d. staff-administrator:
trust, fairness,initiative
I agree with Cioffi at RPP about stepping out of the box. If we are to show determination and perseverance we have to try different strategies to meet the ever changing needs of our students. These guys are coming from places that we have no idea about. One value that should also be included is empathy. Comments I hear almost daily from parents, students, and staff show me there is little empathy anymore to what a child may be going through. Sometimes we may need to step back and put ourselves in that child's (they are children remember) shoes before we throw that zero on them or make that snappy comment. At their ages they can't leave their problems at home like we as adults are to do when we go to work. Sometimes we can't even do that. How do we expect an eight year old to do it?
Insco CFE
In response to Lunsford at RPP, I agree, we as teachers do what we do with what we have. The budget cuts have hit us hard, but we never stop giving for our students. We find new ways and become very creative in developing strategies to deal with the lack of supplies and resources.
The words I would use to describe the overall climate at CFE are: COMMITMENT, TRUST, SUPPORT, and CONFIDENCE.
I chose these words to describe CFE because they describe how the staff works to better ourselves, our students, and our school. All of the employees at CFE are committed to their students and their mission as a teacher. Furthermore, they are trusting in themselves and in their partners and teams to support them when it is needed. Finally, as a teacher at CFE, I am confident in my colleagues and administration to uphold a positive image and sense of pride in our school, staff, and students.
Teacher-Student: Respect, Responsibility
Teacher- Parent: Truthfulness, Trust
Teacher-Teacher: Dependable, Loyalty
Staff-Administrator: Fairness, Dependable
To RPPS:
I agree with you about how important it is for teachers to show initiative. I believe many teachers at CFE show this as well. By demonstrating this in your classroom, and daily routines, I believe that it will inspire our students to show this trait as well.
CFES Tanya House said...
Our schools core values are best defined by the core values are commitment, collaboration, and reflection. I think that CFES has the most committed teachers. My team collaborates weekly to share materials and ideas. We use student data to reflect on our student's learning and encourage the students to do the same.
a. teacher-student:fairness
b. teacher-parent: honesty
c. teacher-teacher:collaboration
d. staff-administrator: accountability
CFES Tanya House said...
I agree with Tiffany from RPP, I think that persistence is a great core value to define the teacher student relationship. You have to really invest yourself in each and every child and find new and innovative ways to reach all learners.
Resilience best describes the overall climate at RPP this year. With so many obstacles we have met due to the economy and changes from the people overseeing education, we have had to just keep going towards are ultimate goal-- teaching these kids-- no matter how little funds, resources, or people we have to do it with.
a) teacher-student:perseverance
b) teacher-parent:commitment
c) teacher-teacher:respect
d) staff-administrator: trustworthiness
CFES Tanya--
I definitely agree that RPP too exhibits collaboration. Each grade level works together, but I can speak for the K team-- kindergarten does a wonderful job at sharing ideas, resources, and information all the time.
RPPS Kindergarten Team:J.Sessoms,M.Colclough,J.Ensign,C.Cotten
The best words to describe our school climate/culture at RPPS are: Compassionate, Dedicated, Goal-Oriented, and Creative. We are compassionate in our craft and we are compassionate about our babies! We are dedicated to developing the whole child and ensuring that each child is working towards reaching his or her potential every day. We have to be goal-oriented because we have so much to do! Every child will strive to meet your high expectations. We have to be creative because each child is different and changing your approach makes learning interesting. In a way we are Great Entertainers and when learning is fun, we engage all of our students!! We have to step out of the box sometimes to find what works with each child.
Teacher-Student: Compassion
Teacher-Parent: Dedicated/Open & Honest
Teacher-Teacher: Creative Team
Staff-Administrator-Dedication & Teamwork.
Todd O-CFE
Commitment-I truly believe the staff at CFE is committed to the students and have their best interests at heart.
Determination-I believe we are determined to do the best we can for our students with what we have.
Fortitude-No matter how difficult things are, or how difficult they become, our staff continues to make a difference in the lives of our children, despite the adversity felt.
a. teacher-student: perserverance
b. teacher-parent: respect
c. teacher-teacher: trustworthiness
d. staff-administrator: commitment
I agree with Janet that teachers work hard and are committed to students, helping them to achieve their goals. The decisions that we make are with their best interests in mind.
Harrison CFE
1)The word that best defines my current school-wide climate and culture is "accountability". As teachers we need to be accountible for our students success as well as the student being held accountable for theirs. It is a sort of partnership that we have. One cannot do their job without the other.
2) teacher-student: respect
teacher-parent: partnership
teacher-teacher: collaboration
staff-asministrator: trustworthiness
I agree with Cioffi's group because without collaboration with grade level colleagues, specialists and other staff we would not all be on the "same page". We have a dry erase board in the Staff Lounge that we can write what we are working on during a certain week. That way, even if someone doesn't have time for collaboration, we can still see what each teacher is doing. Then art, music, P.E., etc. can use what is there to plan their lessons accordingly.
1. The core words I am going to choose that define the climate and culture of CFES are the same words we teach our students: Caring, Safe, Cooperative, Respectful, and Responsible. These are the values that we instill in our students and we hold ourselves to the same standards.
2. teacher-student- trust, compassion, respect
teacher-parent- collaboration, insight, (hopeful) accountability
teacher-teacher- respect, collaboration, dependability
staff-administrator- dedication, responsibility
To AmandaJohnsonRPP:
I agree that resilience is a great word to describe both of our schools. We have overcome many obstacles, such as raising standards and budget cuts, yet have kept our expectations of ourselves and our students high and realistic. We keep a positive tone and move forward.
I know this is a late response, but I thought it best to respond even though late. Core value word would be responsibility. I find this the singular most used word within our school system. It is implied with students, parents, teachers and administrators. It is also reflected in conversations and deadlines. It seems the most measured. Responsibility certainly brings all parties to the table. PNixon@RPPS
In response to Mr. Brown and several others, commitment driven by care( or love) can produce initiative and astounding results. Guess you must love what you do and why. I really enjoyed reading my Rpp family and my new CFE friends.
Julia - CFES
The words that I think best describes our school are accountability, resilience, responsibility and perseverance. I think when everyone is accountable for their actions and what they teach academically, standards remain high. Also responsibility not only for what the teacher does but teaching students to be responsible for their actions and learning. And of course perseverance or else nothing would be accomplished if we gave up when things became difficult.

The core values or words that best define CFE are Collaboration, Compassion, and Kindness. I chose these words because they describe the people I work with. Over the past month, I have seen my team collaborate and work together to help me out. They have been compassionate and kind to the things going on in my life. But not only in a time of need to I see these traits. These traits radiate throughout the year.

Julia,
I agree with what you said about perseverance and almost typed the exact same words. It is so crucial for us to not give up on our students. Our 'babies' look up to us and some even model our behavior whether we know it or not. If we give up, then what have we accomplished?
I think we are resilient at CFE. No matter what the state of the economy is in, the budget crisis in our school system, the changes in government, or personal misfortunes. We continue to work toward the goal of creating a caring environment where expectations for behavior and achievement are high. With the ultimate goal of students being successful.
a. teacher-student: commitment
b. teacher-parent:accountable
c. teacher-teacher: collaboration
d. staff- administrator: trust
I agree with Ms. Bogan that we need to respect eachother; collegues, parents, administrators, and students for our differences. It is our differences that create the unique learning environments that help so many students achieve success.
