Guiding Principles

Respect
Strive to foster an environment characterized by open communication, mutual respect and an appreciation of the diverse backgrounds of the members of the EAC and Ever Active Schools.

Transparency
Members will keep their schools/employers informed on the status of the EAC activities. Each member will determine the best means by which to gather and share information with Ever Active Schools, and back to their schools/jurisdictions.

Confidentiality
The Chair will identify to Members when a confidential matter is being discussed or when confidential information is being shared with them. It is expected that in those situations, Members will maintain confidentiality.

Participation
Members try their best to prioritize participation in meetings. It is understood that some meetings will be missed, but members must attend at least 50% of meetings and not miss more than 2 meetings in a row.

Community
The group will work together to create a feeling of fellowship with one another, sharing common attitudes, interests and goals.

Learning
The EAC strives to create learning opportunities for both the members and Ever Active Schools, always creating space to learn from one another.
