Our Design Principles

#Access | #Community | #Sustainability

At Instituto Mundo Verde, our programs are guided by five core Design Principles that reflect our commitment to access, community, and sustainability. These principles are the foundation of our approach, ensuring that every aspect of our work supports the growth and development of bilingual educators.

Mirrors and Windows

We encourage reflection and representation, helping educators fully see themselves and their own experiences, while also connecting with a multitude of future possibilities.

Walk the Walk

We model the inquiry-based, student-centered approaches that we teach about in all that we do, ensuring participants experience the power of these methods firsthand. 

Create for the Margins

We design programs that are inclusive, flexible and accessible, meeting the needs of all educators, especially those who are often left behind.

Cultivate Humility 
Through Inquiry

We foster a learning environment where curiosity and humility drive growth, encouraging learning from others as a pivotal component to improvement and success. 

Innovation in Service
of Regeneration

We embrace continuous improvement by integrating new ideas and regenerating our practices to better serve our participants and their multilingual learners.
