Through the U.S. Department of Education Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program Grant, Stuart School is increasing the representation of students from underrepresented backgrounds. Students receive individualized learning opportunities and support so they can reach their fullest potential.<\/p>\n
Learning Journeys<\/a> are educational field trips for all MPS students that are designed to take what students are learning in the classroom out into the real world. These annual opportunities aim to expand students\u2019 career awareness (K4\u2013grade 3) and help them explore potential careers (grades 4 and 5).<\/p>\n To promote positive student behavior and improve learning, MPS uses a system of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n PBIS is a three-tiered approach that begins by teaching expectations and encouraging collaboration and consistency in classrooms. Teachers and students co-design agreements and routines that align with three districtwide expectations: \u201cBe Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible.\u201d For students who need more support, higher tiers offer structure, interventions, and follow-up to address specific concerns.<\/p>\n After years of use, MPS and other districts across the country are reporting higher student achievement, improved school environments, and fewer classroom disruptions and student suspensions.<\/p>\n Students develop research, writing, and presentation skills while studying world affairs and current events in this landmark program, which offers a combined Model UN\/World Studies curriculum to more than a dozen Milwaukee Public Schools. Fourth graders study nations that are UN member countries. Fifth graders participate in Model UN activities. Students in both grades attend the annual world fair.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Supporting students\u2019 academic performance, classroom engagement, college and career goals, and overall well-being are the focus of these programs at Gilbert Stuart School.

English as a Second Language (ESL)<\/h2>\r\nStuart Elementary is known for its diverse population. We have students from many different countries including Thailand, Nigeria, Somalia, Burma, Congo, Liberia, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Ghana and Uganda.\r\n\r\nStuart has a very dedicated ESL teacher and a Para-Professional along with student teachers who work with our diverse population. In this program they are taught the English language along with the American culture. These students never lose sight of their own culture and are encouraged to share their cultural traditions with our whole school.\r\n
See Us (Gifted-Talented) \u00a0Program<\/h2>\r\nFall of 2018 Stuart was chosen by the district to become a \"See Us\" school. The See Us (National Association for Gifted Children) Program\u00a0is to support those who enhance the growth and development of gifted and talented children through education, advocacy, community building, and research. The program aims to help parents and families, and teachers work collaboratively to help\u00a0gifted and talented children as they strive to achieve their personal best and contribute to their communities.\r\n
Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS)<\/h2>\r\nPBIS is a joint effort between Milwaukee Public Schools Office of Family Services and the Milwaukee Teachers\u2019 Education Association to effectively reduce classroom disruptions and student suspensions through a school-wide systematic tiered-intervention approach. Data shows that schools that implement PBIS with fidelity see decreases in disruptions and suspensions and increases in student achievement.\r\n

Student of the Month<\/h2>\r\nEvery month, teachers choose one exemplary student to honor. These students then have their pictures displayed in the office for all to see. Also, parents are invited to a luncheon where their son\/daughter receives and award from the principal. Learn more about our Students of the Month.<\/a>\r\n\r\nSpecials: Stuart offers weekly Music, Gym, Art, and Spanish.\r\n
D.R.E.A.M. (Daily Reading, Everybody Achieves More)<\/h2>\r\nDREAM requires reading as a part of homework every day for every Stuart Student. Students may pick any age appropriate subject matter. The pay-off is huge in terms of a child's chances for academic success: good readers learn more easily and with more enjoyment. We need other family members to read to our nonreaders and early readers to help children:\r\n
