Teaching Philosophy
The Robert Williams School of Arts & Sciences seeks to develop students who possess both fundamental arts and academic knowledge in addition to 21st century skills, including personal and social responsibility, critical thinking and reasoning, as well as communication and interpersonal skills. The traditional model of passively learning facts and reciting them out of context is no longer sufficient to prepare students for a life of learning and success. RWSAS’s teaching philosophy combines strategies proven to benefit children and improve learning, including learning by doing, artful thinking, and excellence in teaching. As an approved school system with the WA School Board of Education, RWSAS’s curriculum is aligned with the common core and the Washington State Standards.
Student success, engagement, wellbeing and learning are at the core of our vision. We believe that students thrive in a learning environment in which multiple pathways are available for students' personal exploration, creativity, expression and inquiry. We value equity, inclusion and diversity. All learners are welcome. |
