Welcome To:
Victoria Education
Center
Positive Effective Behavior Plan
2007-08
Mission

Victoria Education Center has devised a School
Code which clearly delineates student
behavioral expectations. VEC provides a clear
description of what will be viewed as acceptable
and / or unacceptable behavior as well as the
consequences of both. In this way, students will
be better able to adjust or modify their behavior,
if necessary, in order to enjoy a positive
experience here at Victoria Education Center.
Vision

Victoria Education Center recognizes that in order to
promote, establish, and maintain a quest for knowledge
and a desire to learn, the school must make every effort
to provide an atmosphere which allows each and every
student, regardless of race, creed, gender or ethnic
diversity to function without fear of prejudice and with the
assurance that their efforts will be evaluated in a fair and
equitable manner. VEC also acknowledges that the
curriculum must be presented in such a fashion as to
provide each student with an opportunity to succeed
within the limits of his/her capabilities. Each student
must be encouraged and challenged to excel.
Philosophy

The general aim of public education at Victoria
Education Center is to provide a school
environment that will enable students to think
clearly, to communicate effectively, to make
sound judgments, and to discriminate among
values. The school’s mandate is to help all
students to acquire knowledge, understanding
and skills that will enable them to achieve their
full potential. The programs, activities and
experiences offered to students have been
developed to further the general aim of the
school.
Goals and Objectives

To decrease suspensions by 20%
