I want our redesign to help students use all resources available and be able to make decisions without teachers having  to motivate them to complete projects and assignments.  I would also like them to learn respect for all students, staff and also patrons  in our community no matter their differences.  I am hopeful that as we move they are able to see the relevance of their education for their future  success and happiness.  I would also like to help them identify  the career clusters that will drive their interests and personal goals while in school and beyond high school.

"By redesigning USD #484, we take a first step towards realizing a goal of bettering not just our
school, but our community, our state, and ultimately our nation. We move towards giving our
students a voice in a system that should be preparing them for their futures, and who better to
have a voice in that system then the ones who are most affected by it. By giving the students a
direct voice into their own education we also give the student agency, which brings with it a
bigger investment on their part. When the student makes that investment it’s natural that an
outcome would be that the student becomes more concerned with the success of the school as
well as their personal success, thus creating an intrinsic motivation for learning, which in turn
overcomes one of the biggest obstacles facing educators today: seeking to motivate students to
care about their own education. By helping to eliminate this basic obstacle, teachers and
students are freed to pursue avenues of meaningful relationship building and educational
opportunity. For this reason, among others, I feel that redesign is a worthy endeavor and one
that will make the lives of our students richer, creating both better educated community
members and better human beings as a whole."

I want to break out of the status quo. This is the next best opportunity to be a better teacher."
