- The Professional Competency Domains are equally important and a thorough description of quality teaching.
- The Domains allow for continuous reflection and goal setting; thus creating a culture of learning.
- All staff members are committed to continual improvement of professional performance.
- All staff members recognize the benefits of professional development to achieve their own professional goals as well as those of the school and district.
