    We Believe
    • On-going research into educational innovations must serve as the basis for authentic staff development activities
    • Educators must have access to resources that will enable them to adequately address the needs of their students
    • Attendance at conferences, seminars and workshops is the first step in the professionalization of education; additional training and a variety of supportive activities are essential in assuring the successful implementation of innovative techniques
