We Believe
- Students today learn differently and educators today need to make changes to better meet their needs.
- Tapping a student’s passion and personalizing the learning are more important than just covering the curriculum.
- Teachers and administrators have control over their school’s climate and culture.
- Learning is as much about how we deal with failure as it is about achieving success.
- The most important way to reach students is doing work-that-matters.
- A school’s environment should reflect the real-world work environment.
- Communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity should be taught and practiced in the safe setting of a classroom.
- How to learn is as important as what to learn.
- Transformational leaders develop a culture where voice and choice are the norm for teachers as well as students.
- Modeling and monitoring pave the way for mindset change.
- Celebrate successes – both big and small.
