SUMMARY

Our school moto "Semper Altius" (Always Higher) invites al members of the community to engage in a lifelong personal journey of improvement. Expectations for student learning are stated in the Student Profile for each level. In the classroom environment we are working on being more explicit about learning expectations and establishing learning goals for each student. Besides, we are offering activities that allow students to connect their learning to real life experiences throughout the curriculum. While many students have expressed in surveys that they set personal learning goals, we can improve to make this practice more explicit and to improve feedback on the process. With our staff, though we have been implementing a performance evaluation tool, as from last year we began working with a new performance management process which helps each staff member to participate more actively in his/her own personal and professional growth process and developing leadership competences. On a broader institutional level, we are working on openly sharing with parents our expectations and results. For the first time this year we presented our Strategic Plan to the “Class Mother Representatives” (two per class form K1 to Y12). The initiative was very much appreciated and valued positively and as a result they suggested we shared the information with all parents, which we did last July. The School has a formal system to accompany each family (Sistema de atención a familias). This system guarantees that each family has someone in the school who knows them personally and works with them in establishing developmental goals for each of their children.
