Overview

"Think Tank" sounds too pedantic. "Rombus Room" is too simple. Somewhere inbetween lies Hallpass and Friends.

Mission

Hallpass and Friends offers innovative learning tools and resources for teachers, schools and organizations while promoting creativity, collaboration, and story.

Vision

We are committed to providing opportunities for educators and organizations to develop and extend their excellence in teaching and leadership through programs that stress the importance of being creative, working with others, and telling a good story.

Core Values

Creativity We value creativity both as a product and as a process. The beauty of a creative solution to a problem or the inspiration from a creative production are undeniable. But the creative process also offers value as it promotes lateral thinking and viewing situations from a variety of perspectives.

Collaboration Playing well with others ... power of the collective to do more than the individual ... process of sharing responsibility, discussing ideas, scheduling tasks, and working out differences

Story Storytelling is perhaps the oldest way ideas have been passed onto others ... process of creating a story requires insight into the core issues (riffle vs shotgun approach) ... communicating not just the facts but with an awareness of the audience.
