We, the members of the Putnam
City Association of Classroom Teachers, are
the
voice of the educational professionals of the Putnam City
School District. Our work is fundamental to the students and
patrons of our district and other people of
Oklahoma, and we accept the
profound trust placed in
us.
Our Vision
Our vision is a great
public school for every
student.
Our Mission
Our mission is to advocate for
education professionals in Putnam City and to unite our
members and our patrons to fulfill the promise of public
education to prepare every student to succeed in a diverse and
interdependent world.
These
principles guide our work and
define
our mission.
Equal
Opportunity
We believe public
education is the gateway to opportunity. All students
have the human and civil right to a
quality public education that develops their potential,
independence, and
character.
A
Just Society
We
believe
public education is
vital to building respect for the worth, dignity, and equality
of every individual in our diverse society.
Democracy
We
believe public education is
the cornerstone of our republic. Public education
provides individuals with the skills to be involved, informed,
and engaged in our representative
democracy.
Professionalism
We
believe that the expertise
and judgment of education professionals are critical to
student success. We maintain the highest professional
standards, and we expect the status, compensation, and respect
due all professionals.
Partnership
We
believe partnerships with
parents, families, communities, and other stakeholders are
essential to quality public education and student
success.
Collective
Action
We believe individuals are
strengthened when they work together for the common
good. As education professionals, we improve both our
professional status and the quality of public education when
we unite and advocate
collectively.
