Do you know your Vision and Mission?

Statements of a school’s or maybe even a single classroom’s Vision and Mission is important because it helps staff and teachers stick to the core purpose of their school or teaching. It can act as guidance in making decisions and to show parents your schools value. Your statement will should be the guide in everything you do, it is your job as a school or a teacher to live up to that Vision and Mission.

I would like to work in a school where the Vision and Mission is to strive to support their school environment by building a more inclusive curriculum, addressing a range of learning styles, offering a wide array of diversity efforts and programs and empowers all students to embrace learning, achieve their personal best and build their emotional, social and physical well-being. I think these are all very important things to include in a statement. These things show that you are a school or teacher that values diversity, gives students and staff the tools to succeed, embraces learning at all stages and places importance on mental health and physical health.

It is also important to focus in the age of your students when creating your statement and to really think about the type of school or classroom you want to create and most important make sure it is something you can live up too.
