At Polaris Tech Charter School, The Navigator
Holds High Expectations for Equitable Outcomes: The Navigator will create a rigorous but supportive environment in which all students are held to high academic expectations.

Embraces Competency-Based Learning: The Navigator will recognize that not all students learn at the same pace and differentiate instruction to meet students' diverse needs.
Values All Learners: In seeking to personalize instruction, the Navigator will recognize all students bring different strengths and needs to the classroom. The Navigator is aware of different learning preferences, diversity, and universal design principles and appropriately differentiates and adapts to meet the academic, social, and emotional individual needs of each student.
Has a Growth Mindset: Navigators constantly enhance their skill sets through professional development opportunities. Navigators use a growth mindset in and out of the classroom to take risks in developing engaging project-based learning opportunities for all learners. They also apply the same mindset to students by encouraging them to take risks and learn from their successes and failures.
