Agenda for the Governing Board of
Knowledge Quest Academy
Date: January 6, 2009
Regular Session 6:30 PM
Learning Lab
**Reminder to all members to meet at 5:30 PM to meet with teachers and staff**
Vision Statement:
Through the Core Knowledge Sequence and collaborative materials, students are able to reach their highest academic potential, thus preparing them for success in their continued education after KQA.
Students learn positive character traits and a code of ethics from instruction and through the example of their teachers, thus continuing their development for becoming productive adults.
Teachers present material through various methods in an effective, involved manner (such as using interesting and hands-on activities), helping students develop a strong desire to participate.
Students are treated equally and without bias, and therefore gain a sense of self-confidence and self-worth from positive and meaningful relationships with teachers and other students.
As a result of continuous learning by teachers and implementation of improved teaching methods, students’ assessment scores show improvement from year to year.
By regularly assessing students’ skills and their retention of knowledge, teachers are able to implement more effective teaching methods based on data obtained from assessments.
By allowing students to work with new computer equipment, students gain valuable experience related to updated technology.
The Governing Board of KQA services the entire school community without prejudice or favoritism, therefore making decisions based solely on the long-term benefit of the school as a whole.
Mission Statement: Knowledge Quest Academy provides instruction on a broad variety of topics using the proven, content-rich Core Knowledge educational program, along with emphasis on a code of ethics. Small class sizes allow students to receive individual attention. All who are associated with the school are able to contribute: Parents are encouraged to volunteer their time, teachers continue their professional development, and students show intellectual improvement through regular assessments.
