After completing the first year, the Armstrong teachers took a good look at our mission, vision, and values (collective-commitments) statements and made some refinements. They’re now available on our website. In general, the new statements are shorter and more focused. Additionally, the collective commitments have been adjusted so they apply equally to students as well as teachers (and parents, too). They are:
- I am responsible for my own learning.
- I will feel safe to try, fail, and try again until I succeed. I will encourage others to feel safe as well.
- I will share my skills, talents, and ideas, and be open to change.
- I am committed to the belief that everyone can learn.
- I will participate during group activities, and I will speak positively with one voice once the group has chosen a direction, even if it wasn’t my first choice.
- I will make a difference in the community.
