Rights, Responsibilities and Outcomes (RRO)

RRO (Rights, Responsibilities, and Outcomes) improves the effectiveness of the learning environment by encouraging and enhancing a student's degree of connection with self and other. The program is grounded in Emotional Intelligence Theory and its goal is to nurture positive self-image and knowledge in our youth. This positive self-image is then utilized by students to create effective relationships in school and in the home environment, creating a strong bond between the two entities and beyond. Studies have shown that 80% of one's future success is dependent upon one's emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) and interaction with others, opposed to the 20% impact of IQ. Accordingly, Allen Academy believes it is our responsibility to nurture hand in hand both intellectual and emotional intelligence for our students' future success and happiness.

The purpose of Allen Academy is to educate young people – intellectually, aesthetically, socially, physically, and morally – so they become responsible, contributing citizens and fulfilled individuals.

Classroom Management

Allen's Community Rights and Responsibilities delegate a significant portion of responsibility to faculty in managing the classroom environment. It is my intention to respect the individual relationships that form, mature, and expand between and among students and faculty. There are, however, some issues that warrant administrative action and/or attention. The following is a starting point for our discussion of procedures and reporting.  First of all, these are issues pertaining to "discipline" not academics. The Progress Report system is the same.
