Warren L. Miller Elementary

Vision

Over the last several years, the Southern Tioga School District has sought to clearly define our core values in educating children. Together with parents, teachers, administrators, and community members, the "Learner Driven - Endless Possibilities" vision for our district was developed and guiding principles were identified. These represent what we believe and are at the forefront of all we do.


Guiding Principles


LEARNER DRIVEN - A structure, a philosophy; a framework that empowers learners to have a major voice in their learning.

EMPOWER - All stakeholders have a voice that shall include choice, feedback, opportunities for collaboration and access to information,

ultimately resulting in informed contributions to our global society.

ENGAGE - All learners will be provided opportunities for success, self-expression, curiosity and positive risk-taking.

INNOVATE - Encouraging students, family, community and schools to pose questions, problem-solve, seek creative solutions and contribute to the growth of learners.

CONNECT - A belief that learning is a relationship between students, families, schools, community and the global society.

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES - The philosophy that learning has no end, is boundless; infinite.

POSITIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE - Environments created so all members are supported and feel safe socially, emotionally and physically.
