 Standards and Assessments  What are the standards of the heart?

How do schools foster standards of the heart?
Schools that foster standards of the heart have high expectations for students' behavior. They planfully provide a variety of curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular opportunities that build strong personal and interpersonal skills. In order for a school to be effective in helping all children become caring, contributing, productive and responsible, the students and staff alike must model these traits.
