The spirit and guiding values of the grant are based on the 2010 Denver Plan. Specifically the guiding values of the proposal are:
 * Technology deployed with a standards aligned curriculum, a creative and innovative teaching cohort, and the support of a forward-looking community and administration can close the achievement gap now!
 * Technology deployed successfully fosters a classroom environment where teaching and learning are the top priority.
 * Teachers participating in this grant are absolutely accountable for its success, and are willing to take the professional risk of failing.
 * 21st century success will in great part be determined by an individuals ability to innovate, collaborate, and think critically and freely (I would rearrange the order - think critically )and freely, collaborate and innovate).
 * Student, parent and community participation and engagement are essential to the grant's success.
