opportunities for academic choice are essential to this pillar.<br />
2) Service-Learning – Students participate in meaningful service to<br />
their school and community by integrating curriculum through<br />
service-learning projects. Students are involved in real-life projects<br />
that teach academic skills and civic responsibility.<br />
3) Goal-Directed – Essential to this pillar is a vision for the future<br />
including career exploration and community involvement. Student<br />
learning is accelerated through specific components of the<br />
Professional Learning Community. These include teacher<br />
collaboration, essential learning outcomes, common assessments,<br />
and specific daily intervention/acceleration strategies to assure<br />
success for all students.<br />
4) Asset-Building – The 40 Developmental Assets are the measure of<br />
success for this pillar. Responsive Classroom strategies focus on<br />
social and academic learning through the daily morning meeting<br />
and teaching of CARES (Cooperation, Assertion, Responsibility,<br />
Empathy, Self-Control). Asset-building is the focus of Club Mead<br />
After <strong>School</strong> programs, parent and family activities, and parent<br />
communication. Free preschool programs and a variety of family<br />
activities are key to this pillar.<br />
