Guiding Principles

  • Learning

As a dynamic, responsive Learning College, we make decisions based upon whether they improve or expand learning and upon how we will determine that improvement or expansion has taken place. As such, we embrace the following Learning College Principles:  

Principle I - Butler creates significant changes in individual learners to benefit their lifetimes.  

Principle II - Butler expects learners to be full partners in the learning process and as such to assume primary responsibility for their own choices.  

Principle III - Butler creates and offers as many options for learning as possible.  

Principle IV - Butler creates and engages learners through collaborative learning experiences within and outside the classroom setting.  

Principle V - Butler defines the roles of faculty and staff as learning facilitators to meet the needs of the learners.  

Principle VI - Butler succeeds only when improved and expanded learning can be documented for learners.  

  • Human Resources

As a college which values the dignity, worth and potential of each employee, we foster a climate of excellence through personal growth and professional development.  

  • Learning and Working Environments

As a college which values an optimal learning and working environment, we support the development of safe, functional and inviting facilities to meet current and future needs. We also support an integrated information system to facilitate student learning, effective decision-making and strategic planning.  

  • Linkages

As a college committed to the vitality of its internal and external communities, we value linkages and partnerships for the economic and social well-being of those we serve.  

  • Fiscal Stability

As a publicly funded entity we acknowledge and accept our obligation to our constituents to be good stewards of the resources entrusted to us.  

  • Future-Based Planning

As the college approaches the gateway to a new millennium, we use a future-based strategic planning model that allocates limited resources for optimum effectiveness, productivity and efficiency.
