Intentional School Culture Model
Each Mastery school has a dedicated school culture team that is responsible for ensuring a positive and safe school community. Our schools adopt common rituals such as morning circles, community meetings, and school events that celebrate the school community and the joy of learning. At the same time, we ensure that school rules and values are consistently supported and enforced. Our teachers adopt common school-wide classroom behavior systems so students are held to consistently high expectations. We intentionally create a community that balances structure and student independence so schools feel both orderly and joyful. College banners and hallways full of student work send the message that students are expected to achieve at the highest levels.
Community Building
Mastery schools strive to create strong classroom and school communities through morning and community meetings. All elementary students begin their day in a fun and engaging way that helps them prepare for academic and social-emotional learning. All students participate in a weekly Community Meeting where they build community through chants and cheers, engage in friendly competitions, and celebrate their grade peer accomplishments.
Restorative Practices
Our school disciplinary system is organized around Restorative Practices, an approach that supports students in taking personal responsibility for their wrongdoing and repairing any negative impact their actions caused to relationships within the school community. Our approach blends emotional support systems, leadership opportunities, restorative consequences, traditional consequences, and well-defined expectations and limits. Our goal is to establish clear boundaries for behavior while building students’ personal effectiveness and reinforcing the value of relationships and the school community.
Safety
At Mastery Schools, we are committed to creating safe and secure environments where students can learn without distraction. We invest heavily in ensuring both psychological and physical safety for all students, staff and families. To enhance safety and boost student achievement we partner with programs like Safe2Say Something and Rebound to support our students in and out of the classroom.
