All Therapeutic Staff & Faculty:

• Value diversity in all forms and understand that people learn and grow best in an environment rich in differences – different racial and socioeconomic backgrounds, experiences, cultures, abilities, genders, inclinations, interests, expertise, and perspectives;

• Embrace inclusive practices and an inclusive mindset, extending that mindset to all staff, students, and their families;

• Are committed to examining their work through an equity lens: looking at the intersections of their identities and the identities of their students and colleagues, and reflecting on opportunities to learn and grow in that analysis;

• Are innovative outside-the-box thinkers – both in the way they approach content and topics and in the way they interact with students, colleagues, and families;

• Work collaboratively to make sure that each child’s disparate needs are met, they are challenged, they achieve at a high level, and that they experience a sense of personal and academic achievement;

• Have exemplary communication skills, written and spoken;

• Are intelligent, accomplished, and profoundly curious;
