Objectives+of+the+Campaign

How does this sound as a possible objective statement? "The goal for this reading program is to encourage the use of literature in our student’s lives for both academic achievement and personal enjoyment. Secondly, we also wish to expose our students to the diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious heritages that exist within our world, and recognize those present in our own school and community." Please feel free to modify this one, or contribute one of your own. I just intended this one to be a beginning suggestion. Darsi I really like that, Darsi. Should we also include individuals with disabilities? lol I think SPED 402 is going to my head. Jo Hey Jo, that is an idea. We just have to figure out if we are considering those with disabilities a culture. I have heard arguments that people who are deaf have there own culture. What does everyone else think? Darsi I agree about including individuals with disabilities. I think the "culture corner" at the Hodges Library has done that some-- Gail  Found these details on http://www.nais.org/publications/ismagazinearticle.cfm?ItemNumber=144259 I'm not sure that they're necessarily objectives, but there are some good ideas for activities we might be able to use. - Rachel
 * Objective Statement** Rachel will work on this section

**Goals and Objectives** Since Dr. Welch wanted us to focus on curriculum standards, I went to Knox County's website and put together the attached document with all of the applicable standards. I focused on Social Studies and Reading (which incorporated Language and Writing, too). One strange thing was that the S.S. standards were broken down by grade level whereas the Reading standards were listed generally for elementary school. If you have a sec, please take a look and tell me if you think the standards I've listed apply to what we're doing and/or if you think I should include some science standards in there, too. Thanks!
