•      It is the goal of Ebenezer Ave.’s School of Inquiry that students who attend the school will develop the following characteristics. Self-reflections and teacher observations are tools that we use to help students become aware of these behaviors and to develop them further.

     

     

    Self-Control-- Comes to class prepared, pays attention and resists distraction, gets to work right away rather than procrastinating, remains calm, even when criticized or otherwise provoked, allows others to speak without interrupting is polite to peers and adults, and keeps temper in check

     

    Growth Mindset-- Gets over frustrations and setbacks quickly, believes that he/she can grow and develop socially, emotionally, and academically through dedication and hard work, and reflects on actions and experiences to learn
