Gamble Montessori Staff Agreement

for working COLLABORATIVELY and SUPPORTING each other:

We will utilize EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION, which is grounded in RESPECTFUL AND PROFESSIONAL CONVERSATIONS.

We will STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE while maintaining POSITIVE INTERACTIONS AND ATTITUDES and providing each other with INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT.

We will have empathy for each other, and be open to seeing and celebrating each other’s unique and different perspectives – including cultural ones.

We will give each other the benefit of the doubt and assume good intentions.

How we talk about students:In alignment with the vision and mission statement of Gamble Montessori, all conversations about students must be mindful of the child as an individual. When we speak negatively about others, including students, we create a self-fulfilling expectation. In the same way that we can provide a positive role for students to grow into, we can unintentionally create a negative expectation for them. This impacts both the adults and the students involved. We must see ourselves as advocates for all of our students. Helping them to grow and addressing their errors in a proactive manner is perhaps the most important component of this advocacy. We do everyone involved a disservice when we compromise the nobility of this position.

Vision:Incorporating Montessori principles, we will create an enriching academic environment and a diverse, nurturing community that allows us to achieve our limitless potential.

Mission:We seek to help each other develop as thoughtful, intelligent, inclusive human spirits who contribute to the stewardship of our community.

Core Values:Community, Hard Work, Learning, Peace, Respect

Inclusionary Practices:Gamble Montessori High School is an inclusionary practices school. We are committed to the guiding principle of ‘least restrictive environment’ as defined by Board Policy 5146: “To the maximum extent possible, children with disabilities shall be educated with children who do not have disabilities; special classes shall only occur when the severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary service cannot be achieved.”
