The Globe School For Environmental Research

Bronx , New York

Cause Description:
The ability for young people to succeed in tomorrow's society emerges not from a set of skills alone, but also from the ability to acquire knowledge, reflect, and react. At the GLOBE® School for Environmental Research, students experience an interactive curriculum that prepares them for success in this rapidly changing world. Students are held to the highest academic, social and personal standards. The primary purpose of this school is to provide a quality education in a safe environment. The GLOBE® School for Environmental Research recognizes the need to build strong family-school collaborations. We encourage families to participate and be part of the school community through volunteering, participating in goal-setting conferences with their children, family conferences and other events. We believe that these events and practices support families and their children in developing a sense of pride and teamwork and making appropriate choices. The GLOBE® School for Environmental Research encourages students to continually take initiative and meet personal challenges which will lead to academic as well as emotional growth. The curriculum, in conjunction with the youth development team, helps to strengthen and support the academic connection formed between children, parents, faculty and the community. The GLOBE School is divided into six learning communities each with a team leader. Teachers work collaboratively meeting on a regular basis to review data, set goals and plan for instruction in order to improve student outcomes. We as a school community hold the following core values and beliefs: • Use of data to individualize instruction, set individual student goals and set high expectations for student success. • Students’ success is reflective of social, emotional and academic growth. • We believe that parents and Community Based Organizations are valued partners in the educational process. Queens College collaborates with us offering on-going professional development based on our school theme and needs.
