District Education Philosophy
Rock Falls
Elementary District #13 shall provide the opportunity:
-
For every child to develop
his or her talents to the limits of his or her
abilities.
-
To develop in each child
the basic transferable skills- the skills to
perceive and to solve problems; to understand,
communicate, and to deal with people as individuals
and in groups, and to organize and make use of
information and resources.
-
To motivate each child to
discover the joys of learning and thereby become a
lifelong learner.
-
To expand the horizons of
each child beyond his own home and community and
enabling him or her to appreciate the beauty and
cultures of the world.
-
To encourage each child to
develop an awareness of his or her own worth and
individuality, as well as an understanding and
acceptance of all other individuals.
-
To teach each child to
distinguish between what he or she knows and what he
or she only believes, how to discover that which he
or she does not know, and how to use the knowledge
he or she acquires.
