WE ARE CREW! NOT PASSENGERS!
What is Crew?
One of the foundational credos of Expeditionary Learning is "We are Crew, Not Passengers." This metaphor refers to a group in a boat on a long voyage, where everyone is needed to pull an oar and no one sits by watching. In adhering to this motto, "Crew" can be used to reference both individual classrooms and the entire school community. We strive to instill a sense of responsibility, participation, and cooperation among individuals, the student body, the school community, and the greater community. This motto represents our commitment to inclusion and action in the service of self and others.
Teachers and students listen actively and attentively to one another. In crew, students re-define what it means to be a learning community that really supports and challenges on another.
