The Tenets of Care...
Care requires a thorough understanding of the one being cared for or “engrossment"
Know thy student
Care requires action that is motivated solely by the needs of the one being cared for
Do what is best for each and every student
Care requires the one cared for to see actions as caring
Be mindful, artful and skillful
EACH STAFF MEMBER, EVERY DAY, ALL DAY, CARING ABOUT YOUNG PEOPLE AND EACH OTHER
Knowing each student…academically, socially and emotionally
Doing what is best for each and every student
Being mindful, artful and skillful in having students see actions as caring
The belief that all students can achieve at a high level
The understanding that fair is not always equal
Having a relentless optimism about each and every student
