Welcome To A.A.Cole Elementary

Walk The Talk

A.  A. Cole Elementary School Instructional Improvement Team

The Walk The Talk program at A. A. Cole will allow us to blend our Character Education program, student behavioral expectations, and classroom management philosophies into one consistent and cohesive structure.  It all begins with the following set of Rights and the corresponding Responsibilities:

 

Student’s Rights                               Student’s Responsibilities

To be Safe                                        I will always keep myself and others safe.

To Learn                                           I will help myself and others learn.

To be Heard                                      I will share when it is my turn.  I will listen when it is not.

To be Valued                                     I will value the ideas, actions, and property of everyone.

To be Myself                                     I will celebrate my uniqueness and accept differences in others.

These Rights and Responsibilities are the “Talk” in Walk The Talk.  They serve as a school-wide set of rules and behavioral expectations as well as platform on which we will build our Character Education Program.   This foundation has allowed us to develop a consistent classroom management system K-2 and 3-5.  It is also increasing our sense of community as we celebrate Walk The Talk each month in an all-school assembly where we will all wear our Walk The Talk T-shirts with our official Walk The Talk Logo. 

This is a very exciting program which has been a huge undertaking.  We are looking forward to seeing it unfold next year to assist us with our “High Expectations for All Students – No Exceptions, No Excuses”.
