Principal
Diane Lee Scott has implemented numerous strategies
to increase achievement
and improve behavior among all of her students at Stokes
Elementary School in Lebanon. To provide the most effective
instruction for the school's many at-risk students,
Mrs. Scott hired expert consultants on at-risk education
to train her staff and implemented a full-day kindergarten
program for young children assessed as "at risk." She
has also helped students learn effective conflict management
skills by implementing the Indiana Department of Education's
Project PEACE program. Mrs. Scott's Preview Summer
program helps students and parents prepare for the
transition from summer vacation back to school. During
the year, she makes the computer lab and media center
available to students on Wednesday afternoons and evenings,
with staff members and community volunteers on hand
to provide instructional guidance and support. |
