PVMHS Beliefs about Learning

Students learn best when:

• learning is clearly the top priority for all staff and themselves.
• it is in collaboration with teachers, families, district and community.
• in an appropriately challenging and positive environment that empowers them to contribute.
• surrounded by a physically and emotionally safe space where mutual respect is evident.
• they come to school, as attendance is critical in ensuring students reach their greatest potential.
• engaged in authentic learning that gives them opportunities for personal and practical application.
• explicitly taught how to analyze, synthesize and apply across disciplines.
• given multiple ways and opportunities to demonstrate their learning.
• teachers are provided enough time to give constructive feedback.
• provided with sufficient mental health supports.
• given appropriate tools and resources.
