The Learning College Project

In the context of these organizational values, we commit to providing the highest quality learning environment by practicing these behaviors:

1. Identifying the learning needs of the communities, students, and colleagues we serve and using that information to guide our teaching and our programs and services;
2. Welcoming new opportunities for learning and professional growth;
3. Measuring, evaluating, and improving the productivity and effectiveness of our work toward realizing our institutional purpose and vision;
4. Holding and communicating high standards for self, students and colleagues;
5. Practicing inclusive, learning-centered planning and decision-making, based on facts and our best judgment;
6. Recognizing problems and collaborating to seek root causes and to implement effective solutions;
7. Cooperating with those closest to the work to make responsible decision;
8. Assuming personal and collective stewardship of college systems, processes, programs, facilities, and resources to keep them vital;
9. Celebrating individual and group initiative and achievement;
10. Promoting, both individually and collectively, a positive image of the college to various segments of the communities we serve.

These values and practices are essential to fulfilling our charge as Richland educators, and we hold ourselves and our colleagues accountable to achieve them.
