iMater Mission and Vision Statements

Mission

Our mission is to provide a challenging educational curriculum which promotes critical thinking skills and individual artistic expression through a balance of tradition and innovation.

Vision

Our vision is to provide a structured, creative environment that enables students to ask questions, solve problems, and take risks as they gain the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for meaningful and productive lives as artists, designers, and citizens of the world. iMater is a collaborative teaching and learning environment that encourages students to develop meaningful interactions across the visual & performing arts and other disciplines.

• Support curriculum integration where students use appropriate, real world technologies that foster high achievement, independent problem solving and global participation.
• Support on-going, timely professional development where staff learns to integrate technology into the curriculum, manage data technologies, and explore new technologies as they affect teaching and learning.
• Engage the community in technology partnerships through increased communication with stake holders, shared resources, and work with institutions of high education, libraries and businesses.
• Support an infrastructure that includes up to date hardware, software and modern peripherals so that the curriculum can be easily integrated.
• Provide support systems such as personnel, operations, management, and other systems that support teaching and learning.
