“Today the School, Tomorrow the World. Global Education for a Global Society”<br />
Theodore Roosevelt High School values all students’ unique talents and encourages<br />
and challenges students to become intellectually curious, world language proficient,<br />
internationally aware, and globally responsive.<br />
Vision<br />
Theodore Roosevelt High School for Global Studies engages students in an educational<br />
experience that fosters international understanding and welcomes diversity of thought,<br />
while preparing students for a globally interconnected world.<br />
Global Studies Vision<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s of Theodore Roosevelt High School will strengthen their thinking abilities by<br />
building on their experiences and knowledge through rigorous data- driven instruction.<br />
As a result, students will progress from emergent to fluent readers and writers to become<br />
critical thinkers, global citizens and lifelong learners.<br />
Theodore Roosevelt Staff will meet our goals by providing:<br />
• A print-rich environment.<br />
• Modeling of proficient reading, writing, speaking and listening.<br />
• Opportunities for daily practice; independent, directed and collaborative.<br />
• An environment that encourages instructional risk-taking and recognizes<br />
achievements.<br />
• Experiences with a variety of literature that reflects our diverse and multicultural<br />
society.<br />
• Opportunities to publish, share and respond to writing.<br />
• Access to technology to enhance communication.<br />
• Differentiated instruction.<br />
Philosophy<br />
It is the administration, staff and parents goal to encourage students to exercise selfdiscipline.<br />
<strong>Student</strong>s share the responsibility for creating an atmosphere that is conducive<br />
to learning.<br />
This is demonstrated by practicing our six Rough Rider values:<br />
RESPECT, INTEGRITY, DETERMINATION, EMPOWERMENT,<br />
RESPONSIBILITY, SUCCESS or R.I.D.E.R.S.<br />
