Shared Commitments Survey Print E-mail

"While a mission statement asks the school to consider why it exists, and a vision statement asks what it might become, a statement of core values asks people to clarify how they intend to make their shared vision (We Are SHS) a reality. The values question represents the essential ABC's of school improvement because it challenges the people within the organization to identify specific attitudes, behaviors, and commitments they must demonstrate in order to advance towards their vision."

----- Richard DuFour, Professional Learning Communities at Work, Chapter 5, Page 8
