Vision Statement The Yarmouth Schools are a community of lifelong learners nurturing the development of critical thinkers and involved citizens prepared to lead fulfilling lives in a changing world. Four key questions guide our work:
Student learning is our shared responsibility and the focus of each team’s work. Teams of educators design and administer common learning experiences and assessments, then analyze and compare the results together. This collaboration upholds our rigorous, coherent curriculum; extends student learning; and results in vibrant and effective instruction. Students understand the essential learnings, expect to be held accountable, and know that educators will do whatever it takes to help them achieve high standards. Interventions are systematically designed to be flexible, timely, specific, and are planned with parents, students and colleagues. Student successes are celebrated daily. As a result, students are engaged and invested in learning that is differentiated for their academic, social, physical, and emotional needs. We are a community of curious learners constantly striving for excellence. In a climate of trust and respect, thoughtful change is valued and everyone has the courage to participate in conversations that push us beyond what is thought possible. District Goals 2011-2012
