VOICE
At the heart of all that we do at PS 9 are our core values: Vision, Opportunity, Independence, Collaboration, and Expression, or VOICE. VOICE is reflected in all instructional and social-emotional curricula, pedagogical models, and everyday interactions between and among students, staff, and families. Through vision we set purposeful goals to grow as learners and thinkers. With opportunity we believe in taking risks and trying new things to build our confidence. With independence we take ownership and responsibility for our own learning. Through collaboration we are all part of a community that works and learns together. With expression we use our words and actions to empower us. Deeply embedded structures and practices as well as constant reflection of these practices illustrate these beliefs.
