Wood Oaks "Secret Sauce"
What makes Wood Oaks special? On Tuesday, January 24, the Wood Oaks staff participated in our building-wide, after-school professional development session. We reviewed how Wood Oaks students are doing on several different measures, including being recognized as a Blue Ribbon school.
Staff then worked collaboratively to identify the five "ingredients" that make Wood Oaks special –– the "secret sauce" that creates a great place for students to learn and teachers to grow professionally. Staff came to the conclusion that Wood Oaks has these five ingredients to success (in no particular order):
- we are systematic,
- a community,
- provide and have opportunities,
- are dedicated,
- and have heart.
These are the “ingredients” that we strive for our Wood Oaks students to also possess. We could not be more proud of them!
