‘Ojus’ is a Seminole Indian word that means ‘plenty’,and there are plenty of reasons for Ojus Elementary’s progress, including dedicated teachers, administrators, a strong curriculum, supportive community and concerned parents.

Ojus’s 49 teachers know they can’t stand still if their students are going to get ahead. Their commitment to their students doesn’t end when the last school bell rings. When students are practicing for and performing at community events, the teachers are there showing their support. When students and parents hold a Skip-A Thon, the ‘Ojus Jams’ Dance Program, and the annual Talent Show, the teachers are present cheering their students on.

The teacher’s pride is not limited to supporting students outside the classroom. It also means becoming a better teacher in the classroom. Throughout the year, teachers work to earn advanced degrees in specialized areas. In fact, over 51 percent of our teachers hold advanced degrees. To meet the needs of the diverse student population, almost the entire faculty has been certified to teach English to speakers of other languages (ESOL). In addition, teachers take advantage of the many workshops offered by the district, region and local universities. Over the summer, on weekends and at night, teachers learn the latest instructional strategies on how to teach Florida’s Sunshine Standards. In fact, Ojus’ teachers, because of the expertise they have developed through their continuing education, have been asked by the district and region to share their skills with other teachers by presenting at regional and county workshops. Teachers also receive special training in technology, enabling them to make computers an integrated part of the curriculum. At Ojus, every classroom is connected to the Internet, allowing students to use this powerful research tool. Students also produce a daily television program, which is aired throughout the school.
