Victoria Education Center
Welcome To

• 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.

3
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.

4
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 schools 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.
