that exemplify the characteristic. For example, concerning relationships, the core value document states that teachers
will actively celebrate the greatness in all members of the school family, demonstrated by being kind and respectful
of others. School administrators ask faculty to quietly read these core values at the beginning of every PLC, or other
meetings for which teachers gather, to help them internalize these concepts and implement them into daily practice.
Additionally, a student-friendly version of the core values is taught to students through once-a-week reading over
the announcements and focusing weekly on specific attributes highlighting and demonstrating these values in
the classroom. In this way, the core values leap from the pages of the document into actual practice in the lives of
teachers, enabling each educator to become a model of relational leadership as well as in the other core areas.
