Burke's overarching core belief is that pursuit of excellence in the craft of teaching is an institutional priority and that Burke’s teachers are lifelong learners who are invested in ongoing growth as professionals. To this end, teachers reflect on their strengths and challenges, set goals, and pursue professional growth opportunities relevant to their roles within the school, their students’ developmental range, and the education of girls specifically as well as best instructional practice in general. Burke’s fully supports and expects faculty and staff to continuously grow, learn, and collaborate.
