My Core Values

It is important to have clearly articulated core values as a teacher in order to justify the importance of your program and to create a program that is beneficial to all of your students in multiple ways.

My Top 6 Core Values:

1. “One of the greatest accomplishments of the human spirit is music and an education that lacked an experience with this elemental part of humanity would be incomplete.
2. All students have the right to a safe environment in which to learn to express themselves
3. Every child has the right and the ability to learn 
4. Everyone has some amount of musical aptitude that can be nurtured and developed
5. Success in music as well as in life is much more due to dedication and effort than innate talent
6. Exposure to and involvement with music should not be limited based on perceived talent.

    Kira,
    I really like your priorities (and I think that parents and administrators will also). You were a bit vague, so I want to reiterate in my comment that a major purpose of having well-defined profession core values is that almost all of your correspondence and materials will relate back to them—everything from attendance policies to grading.

    1/1 NS
