The teachers at Archbishop Oscar Romero High School have established these guiding principles as a basis for their values as educators and as professionals. The principles are intended as a means for informal personal reflection and are not intended to be used in a formal evaluation process. They represent a shared purpose and will continue to guide teachers as educators.
We will develop instructional strategies that promote active involvement for students, provide for their varied experiences and individual abilities, and utilize technology and other tools where appropriate.
- We will help each student’s transition through high school by providing appropriate instruction, monitoring his/her progress, and offering guidance and support services tailored to individual needs.
- We will model the importance of life-long learning through our ongoing personal and professional development.
- We will collaborate with one another to create conditions that promote student success and a rewarding professional experience.
- We will act in a professional manner with integrity and honesty and will develop relationships characterized by caring and respect.
- We will provide a supportive school atmosphere where everyone feels emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually safe.
- We will hold high expectations for student achievement and character, and we will encourage students to take responsibility for their lives and the learning process.
- We will care for our physical environment and school property and we will require the same for students.
- We will communicate with parents about their children’s progress in school and we will encourage parents to be involved in their children’s education.
