Nurturing Every Child’s Potential
Every child comes to school with strengths and abilities.
The staff of Ethel Koger Beckham Elementary School is committed to connect these abilities with deeper and wider ways of knowing.... finding the intelligence... building character within our students... seeing each child as an individual with unique hopes, dreams, skills, and needs...

Our students master the basics, learn how to learn, achieve a deeper understanding, and can gather as well as analyze data.

Our students solve problems, make decisions, use computers, communicate effectively, and work collaboratively.

Ethel Koger Beckham Elem. believes in:
project-based learning, portfolio assessment
performance-based    
       standards,
collaborative efforts,
       a blend of new and
       traditional approaches, 
technological practices to
       achieve these goals.

Technology means:
using computers,
       video, and
       telecommunications
       to do real work,
connecting students,
       teachers, parents and
       administrators via
       networks, 
using the Internet to
       connect worldwide
       with other schools,
       libraries, universities,
helping teachers use
       information-based
       technology to do
       what they have
       always dreamed of
       doing.

Technology helps students become more self-directed
         and less dependent on teacher assistance. Technology
         is flexible enough to adapt to students' individual
         learning styles.
