Our Values
The beliefs that define how the Office of Cradle-to-Career Data interacts with each other and stakeholders.
Advancing Equity
Equity is our north star: At critical milestones, opportunities, and planning steps, we ask, “how can we design and focus our work to advance equity in small and big ways?”
Transparency
Transparency enables us to build trust with the public and with each other.
Accountability
When we experience success, we collectively acknowledge the result of our work. When we experience setbacks, we collectively solve problems.
Collaboration
Multiple perspectives from each other and the public transform good individual ideas into innovative and creative accomplishments.
Curiosity
When our work gets tough, we get curious.
