COVENANT OF A COLLEGIATE EDUCATOR

We believe that it is important for our educators, administrators, and our trustees to have a common understanding and vision for the education of your student. The following Covenant of a Collegiate Educator has been approved by our WCS faculty, and is upheld as a responsibility for all Collegiate teachers and staff.

THE FACULTY AND STAFF BELIEVE:

  • that each WCS student possesses a natural curiosity and desire to learn;

  • that, by understanding and supporting each student’s individualized learning style, we are committed to helping every student fulfill their full potential;

  • that our responsibility is to "educate" by drawing out and encouraging all students to acquire the personal knowledge and wisdom needed to lead a fulfilling life;

  • that we are most effective when demonstrating our own curiosity and joy in learning in our interactions with students;

  • that we need to continually improve ourselves through active learning.

AS EDUCATORS WE WILL DEMONSTRATE DAILY:

  • our intense desire to learn and grow in wisdom;

  • our belief in the power of learning to change a life;

  • our ability, willingness, and commitment to helping students with various learning styles;

  • our commitment to apply the knowledge we've acquired;

  • the values that guide us in the acquisition of knowledge and skills: integrity, humility, intellectual honesty, self-discipline, and tolerance and respect for others;

  • our responsibilities to provide feedback and reinforcement for our students' quest for personal knowledge;

  • active support of colleagues;

  • our role as mentor and role model to students at all times.

THE FACULTY AND STAFF WILL:

  • conduct all affairs of the school lawfully and with integrity;

  • be committed to the mission of the school;

  • understand and build relationships with students, families, and colleagues for the mutual benefit of everyone;

  • treat others with dignity, respect, and sensitivity at all times.
