As members of the Colorado College community and the Department of Education, we
are committed to:
Honor the life of the mind as the central focus of our common endeavor; specifically,
we hope to contribute to the development of individuals who are able to engage in
critical thinking about the issues and complexities of educational subjects. Value all persons and seek to learn from them their diverse experiences and
perspectives; specifically, we expect to promote an environment in which students
engage in inquiry, are open to diverse perspectives, consider evidence as the bases
of determining individual outlooks, and appreciate that alternative approaches to
solving problems may offer value.
Practice intellectual honesty and live with integrity; specifically, we expect
students to pursue their studies with scholarly, conscientious, and ethical effort. Encourage engagement and social responsibility; specifically, we hope that our
students will contribute to the educational “life” of whatever community in which
they choose to live.
