What We Believe

• We believe that every educator enters the field with the desire to make a real difference in students' lives.  However, they do not often experience joy and fulfillment from their hard work.  Instead, there is growing frustration.  Our goal is to help educators, especially teachers, to develop the knowledge and a repertoire of skills that will allow them to be highly effective.  
• In addition to the principal, every school must have instructional leaders who have a high level of expertise teaching methods and classroom management.
• Only well-trained teachers can develop and implement the kind of instructional programs that can significantly improve students achievement.  

• Professional development must be  systemic, focused on improved student achievement, data driven. and designed for continuous learning of all staff members. 

• Teachers should use instructional resources in flexible, responsive ways instead of being dependent on the scope and sequence, pacing and methods found in textbooks.  
• When all teachers are experts in providing appropriate instruction to all students, many of the problems that plague our schools and society in general will be greatly diminished.
