Register for a Rain Barrel Workshop March 13, 2010 10:00am Vision Statement "Environmental Education (EE) is a lifelong learning process that leads to an informed and involved citizenry having creative problem solving skills, scientific and social literacy, ethical awareness and sensitivity for the relationship between humans and the environment, and commitment to engage in responsible individual and cooperative actions. By these actions, environmentally literate citizens will help ensure an ecologically and economically sustainable environment." -Wisconsin EE Board Mission Statement Fox River Academy will foster in its students the passion and curiosity necessary for lifelong learning, and will, through an integrated, multiage curriculum, increase students' proficiencies in the use of strategic learning processes and higher order thinking skills needed to be stewards of the environment and community. Core Beliefs We believe that connected learning occurs when: Topics of study are important and have value beyond school, and are taught where they fit most logically, rather than at specific grade levels. Tasks are authentic and relate to students' own environment, utilizing the talents of expert learners in the community. Time is spent in integrated, multiage learning experiences, offering opportunities for cognitive and social connections necessary for high student achievement.
