CORE

The Mission of the ESCWR CORE program is to empower students at risk due to social and emotional challenges to experience academic success and prepare for post-secondary success by providing a continuum of tools, strategies, and supports. ESCWR CORE classrooms help a variety of general and special eduction students develop tools and strategies for increased success. Academic success, community involvement, and self-reliance are the three outcomes that underpin the ESCWR CORE classroom programs.
 
We believe that; 
All students can learn social, emotional, and academic skills when provided with appropriate support, tools, and strategies.

Students develop and learn best in the context of a community where they are safe and valued, their basic physical needs are met and they feel psychologically secure.

Developing positive, supportive relationships between students and key adults is crucial to student success.
 
To the extent possible, all collaborating service providers should share an evidence-based approach that draws upon the knowledge bases of all relevant disciplines and professions.
 
Education should prepare students for transitioning to adulthood, including lifelong learning, career readiness, and living independently.  
 
We value parents in the educational process.
