I believe that all students, when asked to be accountable for their actions and to be socially aware citizens, will become agents for change!
I believe that everyone has a story, and it is important that we encourage all students to tell theirs.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you tell kids they're stupid--directly or indirectly--sooner or later they start to believe it.
I believe that education is the greatest equalizer; thus, I will continue to fight to equalize the playing field in an educational atmosphere that is not always level!
I am a teacher born and bred, and I believe in the advocacy of teachers. It's a calling. We want our students to feel impassioned and empowered.
