Students struggle in some sort of way or have a fear. For me I get to the root of them and truly understand who they are so that if they come across the tough route they know that they are not alone and that I am there for them now till forever.

It's a small start, but since my first year of teaching I have only been in a PBL school. This has forced (in a good way) me to find ways to incorporate concepts into projects in innovative ways.

Four years ago we started a new school in a large traditional school district. We are trying to provide a model, one example, of a way education can be done differently. Thus far, folks seem to be taking notice and there has been quite a bit of interest in what we are doing.

Being a part of an evolution of change that acknolwedges and actively engages the "tapping into" of knowledge from younger generations while building connections with others interests me deeply as we live in an ever-changing society.

My goal is to make sure that all students can learn in a variety of environments.  The industrial model of "sit and get" is simply not meeting the needs of ALL students.

Our current system, established more than a century ago, does not even come close to bridging the opportunity gap for all students.

I come from an incredibly poor background. In school I watched my siblings struggle, while I succeeded through natural ability and a school system that was geared towards my learning style.  My sister and brother both had learning disabilities and failed out of school.  Out of the five of us, two of us graduated from a traditional setting, two of us graduated from an alternative school and one of us will never graduate.  He  is homeless.  I need to change education so that we can all be successful.
