Equity and Excellence – We
are committed to uphold the ideals of respect for
the dignity and inherent worthiness of each person.
We value all aspects of human development and emphasize
the diverse gifts, needs, and interests of each learner.
We embrace and are committed to the inclusion of
multiple perspectives, voices, cultures, languages,
values and knowledge. We develop and model varied
learning and teaching methodologies in our classes.
Community and Social Change – We
are committed to developing reflective and ethical
leaders with a global perspective. Through reflective
practices and a focus on lifelong learning, we
prepare students to act as change agents as they
influence decision making in schools and communities.
Knowledge and Wisdom – We
are committed to a philosophy of preparing educational
leaders through a course of study that bases practice
upon knowledge of current research in curriculum
and instruction. We further embrace the notion
of knowledge being acquired through a variety of
past and current experiences, methods and processes
such as curiosity, critical thinking, and self-reflection.
