Classroom Environment
At Horizon we strive to create and maintain a positive school environment.
Optimal learning occurs within a supportive community where:
Expectations are clear, fair, and consistently followed.
The primary goal is to understand and extend ones own thinking and learning as well as that of others.
Learning in a community allows for communication of learning/ideas and helps learners to build understandings.
Learning within a community provides opportunities to reason, defend, and prove conceptions to one another.
Learner performance moves from assisted to independent, so the classroom community is needed.
Learning occurs when assistance is provided at opportune moments.
