I’m not sure that professional educators talk enough about our values. Most educators are fairly clear that they value truth and honesty in their relationships with students. Most students would say that most every educator expects them to tell the truth and to not cheat in academic activities. But, in a media environment like a podcast, I think it is important to explicitly state our values for member/listeners.
We will strive for the highest level of honesty and transparency.
We believe learning and education are social endeavors.
Internal motivation is developed through relationships.
Rigor, intentionality, developmental appropriateness and interest are all important considerations in designing quality curriculum and instruction.
Ethics matter in professional practice.
Diverse or challenging opinions can lead to effective change.
