NORTH STAR EDUCATIONAL COMMITMENTS
Learners Will Develop Their Unique Self

We believe that, given support and opportunities, all learners will be continually inspired to persevere and maximize their potential. We support each individual's unique way of learning, giving them an understanding of themselves as lifelong learners. We honor each learner's learning path, energize them to develop skills, expand their mind, grow in all areas, and meet current and future goals.

We believe that community means helping others through communication, engagement, connections, learning, caring, a safe environment, trust, and celebration of our diversity. We will create a safe and positive environment to prepare our learners for success at BOCES and beyond.

We believe that we must develop the motivation in learners for them to investigate the world, understand multiple perspectives, and fully engage in meaningful experiences.
