Prescott's Goals
Teaching students to be dynamic, independent citizens is a Prescott goal and we do this in many ways. Focusing on the “Goals For Life” is one way that we do this. We teach students to manage their daily issues using several strategies. The Goals are:
- “I can be okay when others are not okay.”
- “I can follow directions and be productive even if I don’t want to.”
- “I can take good care of myself even if I have an overwhelming emotion.”
