Attributes of a Howe Learner

Through interdisciplinary curricula, the faculty and staff at Howe Middle School teach students skills that are built upon throughout their schooling and recognize that:

• Students learn best when they are actively involved in their learning.
• Learning must be relevant and engaging.
• Students learn in different ways and all students need individual differences recognized.
• We need to recognize success.
• All students can be successful when we encourage their unique skills and abilities.
• All students need challenges.
• All students are the responsibility of the family, school and community.
• We must always expect the best from others and ourselves
• We must include and integrate technology as a part of the learning process

In support of this obligation, at Colleen & Gordie Howe Middle we are committed to develop learners who are:

• Critical Thinkers
• Collaborators
• Effective Communicators
• Socially Responsible
• Well-Rounded
• Open-Minded
• Digitally Literate
