I have found them to be accessible and applicable to our students, staff, and to our program as a whole. Just as good teachers are good learners, students themselves become teachers to the staff they work with, their families, friends, and coworkers. When I am wearing my administrator's hat I use the standards to guide such things as how I conduct meetings (or participate in them),deciding what the most effective routes might be for publicizing our services, ways in which I communicate our successes and needs as a program, and so on. It never ends, and it is never something just for the students. Equipped for the Future is, to borrow a well-known phrase from A. Lincoln, "Of the people, by the people, and for the people," and that means all of us, regardless of our role(s).
