Inclusive teaching that consistently provides engaging, relevant learning opportunities is an effective way to improve learning for all students;

Age, race, culture, special needs, individual talents, and gender are positive assets that provide the learning context in a diverse learning culture;

A safe and caring learning environment treats all people respectfully as individuals with understood expectations, roles and responsibilities;

The school district is a learning community that both shapes and remains responsive to changing student characteristics and learning needs;
