Increasing learning opportunities for all pupils Sample Clauses

Increasing learning opportunities for all pupils. VCS operates in an area with rich learning opportunities in environmental education and local economics in forestry/mining that haven’t always been used to the full potential by the local school district. VCS staff will capitalize on these opportunities and design program elements to use these resources to the benefit of the students. Learning through community service Community service is a key element in both the vision and the mission of VCS and the staff see almost limitless opportunity for expanding learning opportunities for students, particularly outside of the classroom, through community service. As part of our educational plan, we intend to incorporate community service into the students’ individual learning plans and elements of environmental education to provide potential college and career opportunities that are available in this region. Our view is that giving back to the community is important but it is also important for students to see careers beyond minimum wage retail options.
