La Cima Elementary Charter School: Climb High, Excellence is Our Way!

About us

OUR MISSION The mission of La Cima Elementary Charter School is to prepare our students for academic and life-long success through a rigorous and relevant academic program. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM & PHILOSOPHY La Cima Charter School’s curricular program is grounded in the New York State Learning Standards and our belief in developing the mind, body, and character of our students. VISION Our vision is to develop students who have the intellectual capacity, social capital, and emotional strength of character to be personally successful, and to act as effective change-makers in their communities. BELIEFS ● We believe that all students, regardless of home language/culture or special needs status can succeed in our school community. It is our responsibility as educators to create differentiated instructional environments that nurture and respect students’ innate genius and supportively challenge their areas of weakness. ● We believe that bilingualism is an asset that is increasingly necessary in a global economy. We believe that all students should have the ability to speak, read and write in more than one language. ● We believe in culturally responsive methodologies and content which give schooling a deeper, more meaningful, relevant place in student lives. ● We believe families are our partners. We view each home and heritage culture as having intrinsic value, and unique strengths that when thoughtfully and appropriately integrated into the school setting, significantly strengthen the academic environment. ● We believe in data driven-instruction. By analyzing student data and teaching students to apply effective effort, they gain self-confidence, and the character strength to become smarter with practice.

    Hello all, I need your help!   Are you part of the exclusive <7% of Black women that make up senior level leadership in higher education? Do you know someone else who is? If so, I extend this invitation to you to participate in my research study.   In my study, I hope to explore the experiences of Black women senior level leaders in higher education who works at a PWI/ HWI. As a Black woman who has achieved such a position, I would love to hear your story. Your perspective and voice can contribute to more equitable practices and opportunities to impact future generations.   You are eligible for this study if you identify as a Black woman, currently work in a senior level leadership position at a DI, DII or DIII PWI/ HWI and have at least 3 years of senior level leadership experience.   If you are interested in participating in this study, please complete the participant Pre-Data Questionnaire (https://lnkd.in/gRuZy5F2).   Participation in this research study consists of participating in one one-hour virtual individual interview via Zoom and one 90-minute focus group virtual interview via Zoom. Additionally, participants will also be asked to complete a personal life timeline that will be collected via email. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary.   All information shared during the interviews will be kept confidential, and your identity and that of your university will remain protected through the use of pseudonyms.   If you know any other Black women who fit the criteria above, please share the flyer or this message with them.     Thank you for your consideration,   Raina N. Rorie, Doctoral Candidate Baylor University
