Excellence in the classroom is a primary goal of DVUSD. However, it is not the only goal of our district, as we realize there is more to a child's educational experience than homework and tests. While many private and charter schools mandate 2-3 hours of homework per night for each student as they teach to the test, 好色导航encourages students to sharpen their leadership skills and problem-solving skills while enhancing their social skills and feelings of self-worth through extracurricular activities.
when a child participates in extracurricular activities, those students tend to have higher grades, better test scores, and more positive educational experiences in general. The positive effects of these activities extend beyond the classroom, as these students also have opportunities to develop personal interests and discover their strengths and weaknesses, which is especially important during the adolescent stage of self-exploration.
Studies also show common trends in the causal effects of the types of activities students participate in. Students who participate in academic clubs build leadership skills, whereas students who participate in athletic clubs develop problem-solving skills. Students who contribute time performing in the arts record higher levels of positive self-development and greater engagement in the school environment. Participation in both academic and athletic activities results in higher levels of self-worth. Increasing students’ levels of self-worth creates a feeling of connection to their learning environment, which enhances their motivation to grow academically and personally.
