Professional Norms • Community– We demonstrate respect and support for all stakeholders. • Commitment– We commit to and apply our Principles of Learning. • Responsibility– We accept responsibility for students’ learning. • Efficacy– We believe we can help all students learn. • Humility– We seek out and use feedback from external sources. • Resourcefulness– We seek out ideas for structures, resources, and methods to insure that all students will learn. • Creativity– We create new structures, resources, and methods to insure all students will learn.
Principles of Learning– We will make decisions based on the following: • All students can learn. • Students learn in different ways. • Students learn in different timeframes. • Errors are inherent in the learning process. • Formative assessments should be frequent—and should provide feedback that influences instruction. • Poverty does not inhibit students’ ability to learn.
