FOR ALL OUTREACH PARTICIPANTS:
We are committed to creating and fostering a learning and working environment based on open communication and mutual respect. We have an extraordinarily diverse K-12 student population, and a diverse community of teachers as well. We expect volunteers to be respectful and welcoming of difference, including differences involving race, color, religion, age, national origin or ancestry, veteran or military status, sex, marital status, pregnancy or parenting status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. Inappropriate behavior is unacceptable, and will result in removal from NW Noggin activities…
Please help everyone feel valued as full, respected participants in our teaching and learning communities – this is key to successful outreach.
