Applying these principles helps to set the stage for successful servicee-learning and long lasting academic and social development.    Our Core Principles A Compelling Sense of Purpose The work resonates strongly with educators and students personally and has a clearly understood value to the community.   Academic Integrity Learning objectives are well defined, understood by all, and connected to standards, local curriculum and school or program goals.
