Learning is an interactive process that occurs when students understand and are able to communicate new concepts through carefully crafted and guided challenging experiences defined by clear learning goals and rigorous performance standards. All individuals are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity. All individuals can learn. All individuals learn in many different ways and at varying rates. Each individual learns best in a particular way.
All individuals are both potential learners and potential teachers.
Learning has both cognitive and affective dimensions. Teachers, administrators and staff are partners with students in the learning process. If students fail, all partners should accept full responsibility for this failure and take action to ensure success.
