Barack Obama Charter School

---

Our students will learn to become lifetime learners who are continuously accountable for their own progress. All students will take ownership of their own learning by using quality systems and tools such as setting their learning and behavioral/social goals, preparing action plans for achieving these goals, and tracking their own academic statistics and behavioral/social progress in their data notebooks. As a result, they will become self-aware and self-reflecting analytical thinkers and independent decision makers.

Classes will be flexibly designed to reflect the rate at which students master their individual learning goals. Frequent assessments will be given to allow students to track their progress with real-time data. Students will also track their enthusiasm for learning, self-motivation and level of personal responsibility.
Graduating students will be able to demonstrate the ability to gather, analyze and use data and information, communicate precisely, solve problems, work cooperatively, think creatively, initiate action and participate in a global society. They will be self-motivated, competent lifelong learners, who fully embrace the concept of individual accountability.
