The teaching
staff of Samuel Staples Elementary school is dedicated to
being an integral part of the community of learners that
make up our school. This means a genuine commitment on
behalf of the teachers and administration to continue their
own professional growth and education.
Teachers at Staples
use their classrooms as laboratories of creative learning,
and they attend HOT Summer Institutes to hear about new
techniques for integrating the arts into subjects like math
and history.
The
elementary faculty currently consists of 42 certified staff
members. All staff members are becoming highly
technology-literate. Integrating all disciplines and
utilizing technology helps our faculty and students gain new
perspectives and benefit from unlimited resources which
technology and collaboration affords.
The teaching
staff is comfortable partnering with parents and resident
artists to enhance the learning experience for our students.
The needs of
every child comes first. Each child is nurtured and
challenged to excel. Easton Public schools has a Curriculum
Master Plan which has been developed through the joint
efforts of many members of our teaching and administrative
staff. One of the most important goals of the Curriculum
Master Plan is to develop learners who can think
independently. We recognize that in order to achieve this
goal we must strengthen critical thinking skills. The staff
of Samuel Staples Elementary school presents the students
with the tools necessary to analyze real life situations,
and encourage the development of higher-order thinking
skills. We are committed to meeting and addressing the
unique needs of all of our students, including the learning
disabled and the gifted.
The climate of our school is
such that the development of children into caring,
responsible citizens is given great emphasis. As students
attend a HOT performance and watch the creative efforts of
their classmates they are expected to be respectful. In
their dealings with others they are expected to be kind, and
to treat others as they would like to be treated.
