Philosophy of Education The Copley-Fairlawn City School District Board of Education is committed to providing a program of education which is consistent with the following beliefs: 1. A free society depends upon rational, responsible, and effective citizens. 2. The intellectual, emotional, physical, cultural, social, aesthetic, and ethical development of all students is necessary so that they may achieve their full potential. 3. A variety in the curriculum, in methods of instruction, evaluation, and materials should be provided to accommodate the different needs of all students. Character Traits The primary goal of schools is to communicate cognitive information; however, this cannot be presented in a vacuum. Schools must also include content that teaches good citizenship. The pluralism of the United States has greatly enriched its culture. An outgrowth of this pluralism is a diverse value system refl ecting the contributions of many ethnic, religious, and racial groups; yet, a consensus of common character traits transcends this cultural diversity. Character traits for which students should strive have been identifi ed by the Copley-Fairlawn City Schools Community Character Education Study Committee. These include, but are not limited to, the following character traits: Compassion Students should show care, concern, and empathy for the needs of other persons without regard to race, religion, gender, age, economic status, and/or physical and mental condition. Courtesy Students should display good manners and politeness, showing the same respect for others as they would wish for themselves. Tolerance Students should strive to discover and learn about people who are different from themselves and about cultures different from their own. 4. Involvement in the learning process has more meaning when students participate in setting goals and objectives with effective adult guidance. 5. The development of self-appraisal skills and decisionmaking techniques should help students in assuming responsibility for setting realistic short and long-term personal, academic, and career goals. Honesty Self-Discipline Diligence Responsibility Students should be truthful and trustworthy in their relationships with others. Students should realize the motivations for their actions and give priority to duties and responsibilities rather than to confl icting impulses and desires, being willing to sacrifi ce present satisfaction in order to receive long-term benefi ts. Students should pursue worthwhile endeavors, showing persistence, care, and effort. Students should exercise sound thinking and good judgment, as they are personally and ethically accountable for their actions. Students should work with others to strengthen the family and improve their community, the state, the nation, and the world for everyone. 6. Working cooperatively with parents and other citizens, as well as business, industry, and community agencies strengthens active involvement in all phases of planning, developing, and implementing the educational program. [Adoption Date: July 19, 1994] LEGAL REFERENCE: State Board of Education— Minimum Standards 3301-35-02 CROSS REFERENCE: AE, School District Goals and Objectives Self-Respect Students should consider the person within themselves, realize their worth and dignity as human beings, and account for their strengths as well as their weaknesses. Courage Students should develop personal strength and stability to draw upon in times of adversity. Integrity Students should acquire sound character traits and thereafter seek to live up to them in a consistent manner. The ultimate goal of education is the positive infl uence of student behavior. Students who are committed to these basic principles will gain respect for themselves and others and will work to improve the social and natural environment for all. The school has the unique opportunity to develop and nurture these traditional principles in every member of its community. 2/93
