ADIA Educational Resources was founded on the idea that the path to success in STEM education is continuous and that there are discrete benchmarks to learning along the way. This is symbolized in the success continuum of Ask, Discover, Innovate, and Achieve.

The Values of our Organization

We are privileged to serve the educational community. We accept that this is not a right and that we must work diligently to protect our reputation with our customers. We recognize that our customers serve the public good. As such, we also support, and are an advocate for, the public good and in all ways must uphold the trust that we have established.

What we Value at ADIA Educational Resources

Integrity

Honesty shapes our actions and approach in every situation. In all ways we endeavor to say what we mean and mean what we say. Much in the business side of education relies on repetitive and recurring opportunities with established customers. We must maintain an honest approach to retain the trust that will give our customers incentive to rely on us.

Enthusiasm

We recruit, develop, and promote individuals who like what they do and can bring enthusiasm to the job at hand. Regardless of background or educational experience it is important for those at ADIA to communicate and show a sense of enthusiasm.  There is a lot to be excited about within education, particularly within the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines. We do this because we know our customers are enthusiastic about what they do.  Our enthusiasm, and support for them, will help us to build better relationships.

Development

Fundamentally, we are in the business of people development.  We acknowledge our role and responsibility in helping to prepare teachers and students for the challenges they will face.  There can not be a better or more important job. The same is true for us and for the individuals within our organization.  We look for individuals who find ways to improve themselves both personally and professionally.  The world changes every day.  We must continue to develop ourselves so that we can remain innovative, competitive, and can properly address the current needs of our customers.

Commitment

We believe that real initiative occurs only when individuals are committed to the endeavours that they pursue.  The same is true for our organization as a whole.  Commitment means follow through.  Commitment transcends words.  It has to be about action.

Advocacy

We must all recognize that as citizens we, at times, must be prepared to serve the common good and the good of others.  There could be no more basic theme or principle underlying the field of education. Teachers serve others in a larger sense that transcends their own immediate needs.  Through their service, as the principal advocate for the students in their charge, we as a society may pass on, to each succeeding generation, the essential skills, knowledge, and expertise that they will require.  Additionally, teachers serve as mentors who can help individuals to take advantage of their greatest strengths.

At ADIA we view our role, with all constituents of the educational community, as one of advocacy.  We serve as advocates for parents, teachers, educators, students, manufacturers, and our suppliers.  We serve their good as well as our own and are prepared to support their efforts with the greatest possible commitment that we can provide.

Professionalism

We abide by the standards & practices of the educational community.  Additionally, we are business professionals and adhere to the appropriate practices of that community as well. At ADIA we seek individuals with expert and specialized knowledge in education and within the STEM disciplines. We demand a high quality of work in our products, services, presentations, consultancy, research, administrative, marketing, and other work endeavours. We uphold a high standard of professional ethics, behaviour, and work activities while carrying out our duties in service to our customers.

Hard Work

All honest work has value. Regardless of whether a pursuit is academic or vocational, white color or blue color; it is a universally accepted principle that those who can demonstrate dedication to the job at hand will achieve far greater result. We as individuals are best able to determine what is in our own interest and to find our own path. Once we are on that path, we owe it to ourselves and others to give our best effort and to not take the easy road but to pursue the difficult tasks as these are the most lasting and provide the greatest reward.  In this way we serve as the best possible example to others.
