Why do we need a program like PAWS at JMHS?
This is a vitally important question. The answer can be found in
several areas that reflect unique aspects of our school. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
First of all, there is a desire to provide each
student with a caring adult advocate. Students need a resource person
available to them throughout the school year. It is also our desire
that the members of each PAWS group be resource persons for each other.
These aspects of our program are in agreement with the Strategic Aims for
OKCPS. The aims we will work toward include -- |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 | Improving lifelong learning by setting realistic goals, and developing
educational and career plans. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 | Improving operations by establishing a network of communication among
students, teachers, administrators, and parents. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 | Creating a safe environment for students by improving respect for
school property and encouraging healthy and positive attitudes toward the
educational process. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
 | Improving partnerships with the surrounding community as well as
within John Marshall. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
PAWS builds on these concerns by working to
create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all students. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Second, the John Marshall program is designed
for all students and involves all school personnel. The curriculum is
organized, planned, and integrated as part of the total educational process.
By working together, we can help students learn more effectively and
efficiently. |
