HANDOUT: ASP Systems Jarod Wunneburger 2010
Norwood ReadersPlus After School Program (ASP) The mission statement for the USC ReadersPlus After School Program is as follows:
Creating a Love of Learning – by providing academic support, homework assistance, building on classroom knowledge, and working to inspire exploration, self-confidence, personal responsibility, and a desire to become a lifelong learner. Encouraging Creative Expression - by exposing students to enrichment activities that provide them with the opportunity to express their creativity, thoughts, and opinions in a safe space. Promoting Community and Cultural Awareness – by promoting a culture of tolerance and emphasizing community activism, character building, and peacefulness as a way of life.
The Norwood ReadersPlus After School Program will achieve that mission by following these values:
• Every student deserves an emotionally and physically safe environment in which to take risks and thrive.
• Every student deserves the space to imagine dream and have caring
and supportive adults who encourage and celebrate those dreams.
• Students should be involved in the decision making process of our program. If students feel they have a voice they are more likely to enjoy themselves and behave cooperatively.
• Every student and employee in our program has equal rights to be
accepted, respect, and valued by others.
• We shall start with positive relationships before applying corrective consequences.
Nothing we do is as important as the effect is has on a
student.
