help students understand their world and the ways the past has shaped the present.
-
promote acceptance, respect, and appreciation of all members of our community.
-
develop students’ communication skills, teach civil discourse, and foster open-minded discussion of opposing viewpoints.
-
help students to become lifelong learners, problem-solvers, and productive members of society.
-
teach students to critically evaluate sources of information and use media responsibly.
-
foster democratic values and promote active citizenship in the 21st century.
