As an educator, I will...

Teach and learn in every interaction

• We are all students and learners!

Engage in joyful practice

• We can help to create an anxiety free learning environment for teachers and students

Search for the true and useful

• If it's not both, then why waste your time?

See, understand, influence patterns in the whole, the part, and the greater whole

• Everything is a ripple effect... what you do effects the person next to you and will eventually come back to you

Act with courage

• Do it if it feels right... even though it's scary to put yourself out there

Recognize and build on assets of self and others

• Access and harness the good in everyone
