Albertus W. Becker School is one of 2 Elementary Schools located in the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District. Elementary Students are being taught New York State Mathematics Standards as basis for teaching instructions. At the elementary level their goal is to have students master the basic concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as well as application of these skills in problem-solving situations. Teachers use a hands-on approach with the use of manipulative assists in the development of concepts for students.
Assessment occurs at each unit through district tests, teacher-directed assessments, through yearly standardized tests, and through a New York State. The Albertus W. Becker School staff believes that every child should be treated with respect and be given the opportunity to grow in knowledge and self-esteem through quality education. The students can achieve these goals by being encouraged to do their best and take pride in work well done. The key to their success will be a partnership among parents, students and staff having a partnership based on respect, support and involvement.
