ITEACH

The ITEACH core values are the characteristics everyone in our organizations should possess in order for us to achieve our collective goals. Because it’s important that we own these values, you will see each ingrained into our daily practices, including our hiring and evaluation practices.

The six values — innovation, teamwork, excellence, accountability, courage and healing, or ITEACH for short — were chosen to identify the characteristics that all colleagues should possess in order to achieve our collective goals.
