Our Culture & Climate Framework aims to foster safe, inclusive learning environments for our young people and adults. By examining our policies and practices through an Anti-Bias/Anti-Racist/Trauma-Informed lens, committing to Culturally & Linguistically Responsive/Sustaining Pedagogy, and utilizing evidence-based standards, strategies, and tools, we strive to ensure that our educational practices promote equity and reflect the diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds of our adults and young people.

Our framework is made up of three pillars --- Knowledge and Love of Self, Solidarity, and Collective Determination --- which are sustained and supported by Social Justice Standards, Compassionate Dialogue/RIR, Trauma Informed Principles & Practices, and Transformative SEL.
