EDUCATION PRIORITIES: Donations & Funding
Founding Creative Educational Theories:
The foundations upon which the Center was formed is to emphasize creative education with the strong emphasis of DEJI (diversity, equity, justice and inclusion), building Professional Learning Communities —or inclusive/equity, and humility centered “circles” of inclusive dialogue through the illuminating and empowering use of Creativity and the Arts. We encourage international educators to collaborate across cultures, ethnicities, races, languages, disciplines, and learning ages.
As a non-profit, we creatively cultivate & support human capacity development theories, provide research and strong statistical support, advance multicultural/racial team-building amongst professional educators, and provide logistical support for collaboration-- without borders.
Key Principles:
That our human capacity to learn is dynamic, diverse, and must be engaged without distinction to race, culture, gender or ability. That creative learning must match the diversity of human intelligences and cultural assets. It is important to find alternatives to standardized assessments and outcomes not synonymous with equity, justice and inclusive learning.
