We believe…1. Students should take responsibility for their own
learning. 2. Students learn best in an environment that
respects diversity. 3. Students learn best when they reflect on the
process of learning.4. Academic skills are best learned within the context
of a given course or discipline.5. Learning is strategic.6. Learning is active. 7. Learning is collaborative.
