Our Core Teaching Values
We value relationships. We believe that all great teaching is relational. DeMatha teachers prioritize instructional practices and classroom policies that develop and maintain positive relationships with their students, intentionally create positive classroom communities, and value respectful, collaborative relationships with fellow teachers and parents.
We value inspiration. Our mission to educate students of all abilities and all socio-economic backgrounds means we must “meet them where they are,” making new learning relevant, memorable, and aligned with their current skill levels. DeMatha teachers develop multiple instructional practices to engage and inspire students and use assessment feedback to reflect on and evolve their teaching strategies.
We value a commitment to growth. DeMatha teachers are professionals who continually reflect on their pedagogy and seek to grow and add instructional skills and knowledge to their repertoire. DeMatha teachers engage in professional development and continuing education, both in current research in pedagogy and in their content area, and participate in a community of supportive, inspiring fellow teachers.
We value professionalism. DeMatha teachers are detail-oriented individuals who fulfill the many professional duties required in the functioning of a healthy school community.
