Foreword
For
Counterintelligence: Crime and Violence Prevention reasons, having a
positive outlook on the educational process in everything we do is
important to ensure healthy physical, mental and spiritual balance. The
educational process includes institutional training as well as
self-training. If a person, student and spiritual seekers keeps the
following principles in mind then the person will be able to combat
unwanted thoughts, ungodly influences and ideas that try to limit your full
potential. Hopefully, through the process a person can get proper
guidance, support and aid. Sometimes, we
must combat outside scrupulous practices that originate from the academic, political,
religious, law enforcement, intelligence, mental health arena and business world. Somehow, it can get twisted and corrupted along the
way.
The educational
beliefs and the mission statement are based upon the West Chester Area
School District's Elements of Strategic Planning and Beliefs in
Pennsylvania. The mission statement and education
beliefs was well thought out and refreshing. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I am presented
sections in its original forms with a few additions. For Alan Scott's Research, the
organization accepts and incorporates the beliefs and mission in its'
organization. It is good reminder for all
citizens, professionals and spiritual seekers.

Educational
Beliefs
We believe that:
| Each person has intrinsic worth. |
| All people can learn and succeed, but in different
ways and at different rates. |
| Education is the shared responsibility of parents,
educators and community; learning is the responsibility of the
individual. |
| Individuals are responsible for their own actions. |
| Learning is a life-long growth and change process. |
| A positive sense of self promotes a willingness to
challenge oneself and to exert effort toward success. |
| Achieving one’s personal best is directly related
to one’s effort. |
| High quality education is an essential component in
preserving the principles of American democracy. |
| Results are directly related to expectations. |
| Ethical behavior is essential for society to
flourish. |
| Diversity of culture and beliefs enriches and
strengthens our community. |
| Family environment has a crucial impact on the growth
and development of every child. |
| The well being of a community depends upon the
actions and contributions of every member. |
| When the community provides an environment that
encourages individual growth, the individuals as well as the community
benefit. |
| Honest and caring communication is essential to
mutually beneficial relationships. |
| Embracing diversity makes us stronger and enriches
life. |
| The pursuit of knowledge, understanding, and truth is
a fundamental human need. |
| No institution has a more profound life-long effect
on the individual than family. |

School Board Meetings:
There is a wealth of information available at the area
school board meetings. One can obtain experience and knowledge that
a person may not ordinary see in his home or work environment. It
can teach leadership skills by seeing how people communicate, present
ideas and interact with one another. The issues that are addressed are the
following: mission statement and educational beliefs,
strategic planning, policy development, financial management, facilities
and construction, curriculum programs, pupil services, public relations,
educational things, how people approach school board members,
personnel issues, report presentations, security issues and
other related issues. In addition a person will be impressed to see
how they offer services, support and counsel others, and cater to the
needs of every child, parent, community and adult. It will
give you a well rounded education in business and related matters.
Valuable training can be obtained from listening and observing the
discussions about the above subject matters.
Conclusion
If we apply these principles and get clobbered along the
way than there is something evil in society that must be addressed.
Counterintelligence:
Crime and Violence Prevention will help our community to prevent ungodly
assistance and remove dangerous stumbling block that may injure a person’s
well being. Eventually we must examine hostile dangerous undercurrents within
academia, businesses, law enforcement and government agencies,
religious entities, mental health arena and community to find the shortcomings of the educational
system. Scrupulous practices in the community may be the culprit that
creates false impressions concerning the educational system processes.
Please keep in mind that there is always room for improvement in the
educational process. It is always growing and changing to address
new issues that emerge. Sometimes, it may take outside influences to
improve and protect the existing system. For the most part, it is pretty
good. |
