Relationships
EASD will develop positive, high-performing relationships with students, family, staff, and the community, empowering all stakeholders to substantially contribute to the education of our children.

Responsiveness
EASD will provide all students with access to developmentally appropriate academic, behavioral, social, and emotional resources that they need at the right moment in their education.

Rigor
EASD will provide every student with access to appropriate learning experiences and educational expectations that are academically, intellectually, and personally challenging. We will utilize inquiry-based, collaborative strategies to challenge and engage students in content, resulting in increasingly complex levels of understanding.

Relevance
EASD will provide learning opportunities for all students that are directly applicable to real-world contexts, personal aspirations, career pathways, and cultural experiences of students.

Our curriculum meets diverse learner needs and provides a variety of opportunities for students to meet challenging content and performance standards and/or district benchmarks. State and local assessments provide the accountability and documentation of student achievement based on the curriculum.

EASD partners with AVID to help us close achievement, expectation, and opportunity gaps by preparing all students to be college, career, and life ready. Partnering with AVID provides educators with professional learning, resources, support and tools to measure success, and networking opportunities.
