During my 17 years in public education I have developed, and now embrace, a belief set that drives my practice and is the foundation on which I base my decisions.
I believe:
* All children possess the ability to learn and succeed
* All children possess skills and characteristics that make them unique and special
* All children deserve the respect of the adults privileged with the responsibility of providing their education
* All children deserve to be seen and accepted for who they are
* All children deserve to discover their potential
* All children deserve to dream
* All children deserve the right to an exceptional education
