Nueva Vista Elementary is the Recipient of the Excellence in Urban Education Award!
April 19, 2010
Nueva Vista Elementary was one of only 13 schools nationwide to be awarded the prestigious Excellence in Urban Education Award from the National Center for Urban School Transformation.
From the Award News Publication on the National Center for Urban School Transformation website, winning schools had impressive evidence of the following:
Another outstanding feature of winning schools is the commitment of their teachers and administrators to continue to set and pursue even more challenging academic goals, even though these schools already have achieved results that far exceeded state or federal expectations.
- Students learning challenging academic content and skills in reading,writing, science, mathematics, and social studies that exceed grade level expectations
- Students benefiting from excellent academic support structures that helped ensure their success in learning the challenging content.
- Teachers using engaging instructional methods that helped students perceive learning as interesting, relevant to their lives, and fun.
- Students, parents, teachers, and staff reporting that they felt respected and valued by one another and by the school administrators.
Congratulations to all the staff and students at Nueva Vista Elementary for a well deserved award!
