WHAT DID WE MISS WHEN WE WROTE THE SELF STUDY?

We didn’t include anything about our learner outcomes stressing the importance of life-long learning.

What about the staff? or does Academic Freedom apply to us? and where does one find it?

WHAT HAS CHANGED SINCE WE WROTE THE SELF STUDY?

Hopefully by the time we submit our self-study, we will have new learner outcomes that more clearly reflect our values.

-Nyleta

English classes have recognized the values by creating Values Wheels for literary characters, such as Wanabozho, Night Flying Woman, & Black Elk.

Students have also written essays and creative allegories about specific values.

 The values have been used as thematic titles & points of reflection for monthly Unity Circles.
