Core Values
This week, we want to draw attention to our Core Values. At iLEAD AV Exploration, we are very intentional about the quality of education our school provides and the environment in which we choose to work. Our Core Values shape our work as we serve your children:
- Solution oriented
- Inclusive collaboration
- Commitment to excellence
- Servant leadership
- Integrity
- Empathy
Our Core Values focus this month is inclusive collaboration:
- We work respectfully with others toward a common goal.
- We communicate effectively, listen actively, and appreciate the perspectives and ideas of others.
- We seek mutually beneficial solutions and consider one another when conflicts arise.
- We recognize the strengths of our team members and leverage these for the benefit of our school and community.
We’re honored to work alongside our wonderful families at iLEAD AV Exploration to model these values for our learners.
If you have any questions for our team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to 661-429-3757 or info.exploration@ileadav.org. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected!
With gratitude,
Terri Budke
iLEAD AV Exploration Director
