I believe that all children have the right and the ability to learn, and that it is the responsibility of the teacher to identify and implement the strategies that enable that learning for each child.

 

I believe that children deserve educational equity: not one-size-fits-all classrooms, but classrooms where differences are celebrated, and appropriate differentiation is provided.

 

I believe that Arts Integration provides myriad points of entry and options for attaining, retaining and demonstrating knowledge and understanding.

 

I believe that learning should and can be joyful, meaningful and active, and that the arts are the catalyst and engine of that experience.

 

I believe that teachers and students are partners in the learning environment, and that they are all learning and growing together.
