Philosophy

The professional educators of the Burlington School District and the Board of School Commissioners are united in the belief that students are best provided with quality education when educators establish the standards for their own professional growth and development consistent with the Five Standards of Quality for Vermont Educators (Learning, Professional Knowledge, Colleagueship, Advocacy and Accountability), the sixteen Principles for Vermont Educators, the Vermont Framework of Standards and Learning Opportunities, and the school or district's initiatives for improved student learning.

We believe that educators, like all professionals, can continue to grow, to improve, to achieve higher levels of competence, and to ensure public trust through a system that permits professional educators to establish those standards that define excellence for their profession.
