IBERVILLE PARISH PHILOSOPHY AND PURPOSES

 

 

The Iberville Parish School System is committed to provide an educational program responsive to the needs and abilities of individual students, our community and our society.  This commitment mandates that our program provide experiences and training in a variety of areas; thus allowing each student to move toward his or her optimum potential.

 

The goal of the Iberville Parish School System is to continually strive for and maintain effective schools.  An effective school is one in which all the students acquire the basic skills and other desired behavior within the school.  The goal of the school system is to produce learning climates in which students will achieve regardless of their socioeconomic or minority background.  The system believes that:

 

 

1.

All students should have a challenging academic program.

 

 

2.

All students should master their grade level objectives.

 

 

3.

Teachers are obligated to prepare all students to perform at mastery level on the objectives for the grade.

 

 

4.

Parents should understand the academic goals of the school and support their child and the teachers' efforts to reach those goals.

 

 

5.

Instruction should be designed to accommodate the diverse needs of students.

 

 

6.

Optimum learning progresses from the concrete to the abstract.

 

 

7.

Individual differences are met when instruction includes provisions for varied student learning styles.

 

 

8.

The mastery of skills be sequential in development and pacing should commensurate with student performance.

 

 

9.

Analysis, diagnosis, and prescription should be an ongoing process.
