About us

• All children will learn if we teach them carefully.
• Careful instruction includes at its core teaching children at their instructional level and teaching children to mastery.
• Learning is a function of instruction, not a function of the learner.

We are committed to a culture of leadership that impacts classroom environment and includes cooperative discipline, positive behavior supports, and an environment of earned consequences. We are designed to use data to drive our decisions in finance, operation, and academics. We are driven to focus on the needs of our students, rather than the whims of adults.

Teacher Belief:

• All children can and will learn.
• Accountability starts and ends with me.
• Differences among people exist and are acknowledged & valued.
• When there are problems we find solutions. When there is a better way, we find it. When a teammate needs help, we give. When we need help, we ask.
• With deliberate practice, I can constantly become better.
• We are a team and family. We teach in schools and communities, not just in classrooms.

Teacher Character:

• If we get stuck we don’t stay there.
• We find passion, joy, and adventure in the work.
• We value relationships and build them intentionally.
• We make decisions with students’ best interests in mind.
