BE FOCUSED. STAY FLUID.
We remain nimble as we drive for impact and change.
This value focuses on our resolve to remain focused on our mission and vision while being adaptable to the various external factors that our students and teachers face to make real time adjustments to our methodology. No two schools or students are the same so we pride ourselves on making our model work.
JENELLE WINGFIELD
We have so many moving parts in the model, from business partners to district expectations to student behaviors to parents desires, and that those can change on a dime. And you have to be able to be fluid, but remain focused on the true goal, which is creating an amazing experience for our students to help re-engineer their high school experience.
MANY VOICES. ONE TEAM.
We value diverse perspectives and commit to unified action.
We believe that our diverse perspectives lead us to better results for our students when we work together. This value is in play in how we organize, engage in schools and with the case challenges we present to students.
STEFOND JOHNSON
3DE values the various experiences, backgrounds, and knowledge that we, 3DE employees, bring to the organization. Here it's understood that for systemic transformation to take place in education there must be many voices brought to the table because equitable education looks different at various schools.
CHOOSE JOY. HAVE FUN.
We delight in the work, its potential and each other.
The 3DE team takes joy in our work and likes to have fun! We not only like to have fun with each other but believe in celebrating early and often with our students and partners.
Carlos Chinea
Everything that we do in education, from interacting with the students to interacting with educators and interacting with each other, as 3DE staff, I think we should always aim to have fun, bring engagement back into the classroom, and just make sure that we're all collaborating effectively and having fun.
THEY WIN. WE WIN.
We thrive as we support, strengthen and inspire others' success.
NARINE WHYTE
We are in effect, one tree with many branches. When even one branch bears fruit, it's the tree that's fruitful. At the heart of why we do this work is our love for students and the desire to see them succeed. This involves working with others as thought partners, to flush out and refine ideas, to be there behind the scenes to ensure the success of an event, to lend a hand regardless of the task and without being asked. They win. We win.
