Bill’s approach is…
Person-centered | The buzzword these days is “student-centered,” but that both ignores students’ other identities and responsibilities and doesn’t consider the experience of or impact on other members of a school community. To be person-centered affirms the role of all members of a school community to model and practice recognizing and supporting each other’s full humanity.
Mission-driven | A school’s mission statement and the vision of the world it pursues should be the starting point and ultimate standard by which to evaluate all aspects of the life of a school.
Integrated | School programs are embedded in already-complex organizations and should tap into existing structures, streamline like practices, and be attentive to the variety of commitments within and outside the school for students, colleagues, and other constituents.
