James Weldon Johnson School staff members are highly trained professionals committed to engaging each student in the learning process. They are committed to their own professional growth, while acting as role models to the students that they serve. James Weldon Johnson honors the students, teachers, support staff, and parents for their desire to work and seek continued improvement for each and every child. The idea is to provide an environment for each student that will fully challenge his or her cognitive, emotional, physical, and social needs. It is imperative to identify what each student knows and what skills he or she can demonstrate. Once this has been accomplished then additional growth will take place. Curriculum, instruction, and assessment are the three main variables that need to be realized in order to provide the most effective teaching/learning environment.
