Process: Standards Implementation Design
Page 3
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we commend our community of learners in working together for the pursuit of school excellence. We believe that an effective school continues to set high expectations in student achievement, monitors its performance and adjusts classroom practices through an assessment system that measures how effectively all students are learning. A process that our school has undertaken is the Standards Implementation Design (SID). The SID included a review of the following statements. Our philosophy is that all children can learn and must be helped to develop their skills, knowledge and attitudes and be provided the experiences that will prepare them to live as contributing citizens in a world of rapid technological changes. Our mission is to develop and nurture the knowledge, skills and capabilities of all so that we are able to use information wisely, adapt to change and pursue lifelong learning. Our vision: “At Nuuanu School, We are Learners for Life.” Our Student Learner Outcomes (SLOs), or General Learner Outcomes (GLOs) include: 1) The ability to be responsible for one’s own learning; 2) The understanding that it is essential for human beings to work together; 3) The ability to be involved in complex thinking and problem solving; and 4) The ability to recognize and produce quality performance and quality products. As a result of collaboration with our faculty, staff and parent groups, we recognize the need to extend on GLO 1 and GLO 3. Thus, our areas of improvement include: 1) to develop a clear understanding of the standards (teachers, parents, and students) and be able to communicate and demonstrate applications in the classroom and 2) to expand on classroom assessment practices to provide information on progress towards the standards.
School improvement is an on-going process with many accomplishments. This year, our teachers participated in two Roosevelt Complex Writing Institutes and school writing improvement workshops with teachers serving as mentors. The Disney Learning Partnership included technology teacher, Mr. Kelvin Chun, and principal, Mrs. Eleanor Fujioka, participating in three professional development sessions with thirty-six schools nationwide. These schools shared innovative teaching practices and participants learned strategies on how to build a professional collaborative school culture. Our technology teacher also received national honors as a First Team Teacher by USA TODAY. Our noteworthy events are captured on our home page: http://www.nuuanu.kl2.hi.us/ The Johns Hopkins University Talent Search honored sixth grader Reid Horimoto at the Statewide Celebration of Talent and Awards. Our sixth graders participated in the national Math League Press Test with 1000 elementary schools. Nuuanu School took first place in Region 5 with students, Naohito Miura, Kristen Domingcil, Kaitlin Koga and Case Miyahira as high scorers. A Learn and Serve Grant, “Caring With Aloha”, initiated by Mrs. Linda Kato, involved kindergarteners making banners with their parents and developing a partnership with hospitals and geriatric care centers. This project was publicized in The Honolulu Advertiser, “Program benefits keiki, seniors.” Finally, we recognize our Value of the Month character development home and school project headed by parent coordinators, Mr. and Mrs. Ron Kam.
