The staff of Nottingham Elementary works hard to help every
student develop into a successful, self-motivated learner. We are constantly
evaluating and refining what we teach and how we teach it. A part of this
ongoing process is the yearly development of the Campus Improvement Plan
(CIP) each spring. This Plan is an outline of the goals, objectives, and
activities that we will implement on our campus during the upcoming
school year. It reflects planning based on up-to-date educational
research as well as the beliefs and ideas of parent and community
representatives, the teaching and administrative staff.
This yearly, self-reflective process results in the development of
several campus-identified targeted goals and implementation activities.
In planning improvement strategies each year, our decisions are based on
a shared philosophy and vision of the goals we have for our students and
ourselves. Within the learner-centered Nottingham
environment, we believe that education is an interactive, democratic
process. Therefore, we also believe that all decisions must be based on a
clear vision of desired educational outcomes that will result in the
academic, personal and future career success of every student.
The Campus Improvement Team and
the Campus Improvement Plan operate as a two-part process to develop and
implement goals and strategies within the framework of the Shared
Decision-Making Process. Decisions and responsibilities are shared by
all, facilitating inclusion, pride, a positive school climate and
commitment to campus growth and professional development.
