As part of our designation as a Community School in April 2016, we created a School-Based Leadership Team to guide implementation, community engagement, and

best practices. The Team were actively involved in the application process for SIG and how it would fit into the ongoing work of the community schools. The Team

meets monthly and the subcommittees meet as often as twice a week. Minutes from all meetings are posted on a bulletin board by the entrance of the school. We

also host community meetings and parent forums to continually engage parents and community partners on the work.

These programs encourage critical thinking about and meaningful connections to the biology, ecology, and evolution of animals by using guided inquiry,

animal ambassadors, and appropriate biofacts to illustrate key scientific concepts and themes.

This opportunity will allow our students to interact with wildlife in a completely unique way and will help us enhance our current curriculum goals. It will

give students an in-depth investigation of animals from around the world, and curriculum-focused programs that include numerous possibilities for 21st

Century learning in the STEM fields. Each visit provides authentic learning experiences while engaging students in a fun and hands-on environment.

education alive and have students learn more about marine environments. A field trip to Adventure Aquarium will revitalize the teachers

curriculum, introduce students to a world of aquatic treasures and help them make the emotional connection that will encourage engagement in

local and global conservation. As an urban school, our students have virtually no contact with marine life.

Students will be exposed to artifacts and stories which tell the American story through the African American lens resulting in increased sense of

pride and intrinsic self worth (key cornerstones of Positive Action). Also deepen their critical thinking skills and inquiry.


Visiting a museum provides students with background knowledge and exposes students to a diversity of ideas, peoples, places and time periods.

This broadening experience imparts greater appreciation and understanding of African-American culture. Research has shown that students retain

more knowledge through this type of experience-based learning.

four elementary schools; especially given the merger. The school community will be together at least monthly for special events, trainings and development. It is

critical that all programming and resources are aligned, including trips. In some cases, the four schools will travel together to further aid in cohesion and the

stabilization of those schools.
