The best learning occurs . . .
• When positive relationships form the foundation for learning;
• When students engage in high-level learning and access appropriate support;
• When students have an active role in their learning and in the school community;
• In a culture of collaboration;
• When students and teachers extend their learning beyond the school;
• In an environment of critical thinking, creativity, and innovation; and
• When students and staff are emotionally and physically safe.
