  • We believe that a high-quality, equitable, public system of education open to all is imperative for society to flourish; the biggest impact on student achievement comes from high-quality teaching.
  • We believe that diversity strengthens society and should be honored and protected. This includes educational ideas, cultural, socio-economic status, teaching staff, and learning styles diversity.
  • We believe that broad, informed participation committed to a common good is critical to democracy; educators need to take an active role in promoting sound educational decisions.
