Teachers and learners assume many roles, often shared, often overlapping, always interdependent. They respect each other in those roles and delight in their opportunities to pursue and construct knowledge actively and cooperatively, regardless of age, academic status, cultural perspective, or interests. Members of a learning community look beyond the traditionally segmented curriculum and think about the interrelationships among ideas. Knowing and learning are viewed as communal acts, and members are encouraged to assist each other to learn and grow. Respect for diversity and individual worth.
Diversity is valued, and the inherent worth of each individual is respected.
The ethics of caring and mutual respect are viewed as essential for creating supportive learning environments that foster risk-taking, creative conflict and excellence. Degrees Offered M.Ed.
