Faculty
BVR faculty are committed to the art & science of teaching. Educational practices are always evolving (or, they should be), so there is a fluidity to how we approach teaching. We are continuously re-examining and rethinking our approach to teaching and learning.
Educational practices should constantly evolve, so our teaching approach is fluid. We are continuously reexamining and rethinking our approach to Teaching for Learning based on what is happening in the world right now (think generative AI, for instance), who our students are, and their needs. This is just one example of what we mean by meeting our students where they are, not where we think they should be.
Professional Learning
When it comes to professional learning, we believe teachers should have an active role in identifying, designing, and carrying out their professional development, and we invest in those opportunities.
The BVR Institute is at the core of our professional learning approach. It is where we keep reimagining how we expand the nature of school, and includes the following programming.
Beyond the Institute, to help put our learning theories into practice every day, we have teams—including our Instructional Design Coaches, the Research + Design Center team, and the Hiatt Center team— dedicated to collaborating with and supporting our faculty and where innovation in teaching and learning takes shape. This collaborative culture ensures our teachers have access to the ever-evolving tools and techniques critical to being an extraordinary educator. By being in tune with new advancements in teaching, our faculty is empowered to try new things to help students push themselves in a well-supported environment.
Our students are being led by best-in-class faculty. We consistently hear feedback from our partners and colleges who are increasingly impressed with Beaver students’ creative mindset and determination.
