CORE EDUCATION VALUES

high level math

I believe that all students should be taught by qualified teachers who have high expectations for and believe in their students. 

support for students

I believe that educators should provide students with support, accommodation and remediation that may be necessary. 

culturally relevant pedagogy

I believe that all students should receive instruction that connects to their backgrounds, experiences, cultural perspectives, and traditions. 

asset based teaching

I acknowledge that there are factors that lead to different outcomes for certain populations of students and we seek to address them. 

Education law & policy

I advocate for federal and state laws and policies that promote equity for all stakeholders, including families, students, and educators based on our core values and goals.
