CORE VALUES
RESPECT
We value the dignity and worth of all individuals.
SUPPORT
We value a friendly and comfortable atmosphere that offers students assistance in their learning process and supports students' sense of themselves as learners. We also value the support we can give instructors by helping assess their students' leaning needs and providing students with learning opportunities and assistance supplemental to classroom instruction.
COLLABORATION
We value collaboration to assess students' learning needs to improve the quality of instruction and assistance we provide students.
PROGRESS
We value progress over perfection, giving students ample opportunity to practice their reading, writing, studying, and speaking skills, and in the process to take risks, make mistakes, learn from those mistakes, and experience progress toward their goals.
RESPONSIBILITY and STUDENT SUCCESS
We value students' taking responsibility for their own learning as they internalize learning strategies and a sense of success and build on that for higher achievement, greater joy in life, and the opportunity to contribute positively to their community.
LIFELONG LEARNING
We value the role that reading, writing, and studying can play throughout a person's life to help them reach academic, professional, and personal goals.
