Vision
Statement
We envision a positive, safe and
nurturing student-focused environment and curriculum where
supportive staff, parents, students, and the community are
invested in academic excellence, that foster critical thinkers
who are challenged to become contributing citizens, international
leaders and catalysts for positive societal change.
School Goal
To enhance our teaching and learning practices in order to
promote decision-making, problem solving, and critical thinking
skills in the students we serve.
We are focused on improving student
performance in reading, writing, mathematics, social sciences
and life in general. Our programs include Differentiated Instruction,
SFA Reading Periods, Planned Lessons, Better use of Technology,
and Community and Parental Involvement. We utilize positive
motivation and rewards to inspire our students to learn and
grow, and we provide extracurricular activities to expand
the minds of our youths.
Woodson is special
because…
the staff believes it is imperative that the decisions relative
to the content of the curriculum and school atmosphere should
reflect learning styles of the students and varying forms
of differentiated instruction. The staff also believes that
there must be ongoing cooperation among the home, school,
and community.
Whole
School Reform Design
Success For All (SFA) is a school-wide reading and writing
program for students in grades pre-kindergarten through middle
school that emphasizes prevention and early intervention to
ensure that every student succeeds in reading throughout the
elementary grades .Success For All provides research-based
curriculum materials; extensive professional development in
proven strategies for instruction, assessment, and classroom
management; one-to-one tutoring for primary grade children
who need it; and active family support approaches
