        performance.

        them;
2.     Offer a developmentally appropriate and academically balanced program;
3.     Present a variety of learning opportunities and cultural experiences in and out of the
        classroom;
4.     Provide for interdisciplinary and multicultural learning by using varied teaching
        methods and performance appraisals.
