NEW MILLENNIUM RIDE MISSION STATEMENT

Developed over twenty years of teaching and a lifetime of exploration, this statement is constantly being redefined, honed, and tailored for flexibility to fit both "universal truths" and surprise exceptions.

The New Millennium Ride's Mission is to:

• stimulate and support intellectual inquiry through in-depth, complex thinking that values equally exploration, assiduity, reflection, collaboration, response-ability, and accountability;
• teach respect for oneself, for others and for the environment; celebrate the gift of the individual and the strength that comes with unity and cooperation;
• take advantage of and promote opportunities to appreciate and respond effectively to the many perspectives inherent in the pluralistic societies of our world;
• encourage a learning environment that welcomes questions, nurtures innovation, and applauds risk-taking;
• encourage the middle path - the path of  balance, of simplicity in material things;
• stay the course of right behavior - teach by example: look to the future, plan work, work the plan, and live today accordingly;
• and, leave happy tracks wherever we go.
