Part 2

The most important objective or target for Village Elementary school lies in their final goal of improving the learning environment of the school. I chose this target because the environment of the school sets the tone for the all that takes place within that environment. If the school can view the problems and successes it experiences at this collective level, learning will take place and the other problems will naturally solve themselves more readily if this goal is accomplished first. This decision seemed appropriate due to my own experiences and how I have determined that the school environment sets the stage for all other events, activities and intentions that follow.
