My goal at that time was to educate young people in North Philadelphia and to ultimately find a way to always impact North Philadelphia. The picture attached is a newspaper clipping of me in my first year of teaching. ]]> 2019-05-13 13:01:38 UTC https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359447704 tevans79 https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359451439 2019-05-13 13:09:42 UTC https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359451439 tevans79 https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359460662 Our school's mission revolves around global exposure through travel experiences for inner city children. I am proud to say that our school has had the privilege to travel with 6th-8th grade scholars out of the country each year for the past 11 years. We have traveled to Canada, Africa, Shanghai, Atlanta, Bahamas, Haiti, Jamaica and so many more places. These excursions are all centered around their academic program and relate to the greatness as well as teh atrocities of the Black experience in the United States, Caribbean Islands and ultimately Africa. These impactful experiences change the lives of children and adults and it is our "WHY". ]]> 2019-05-13 13:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359460662 tevans79 https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359462786 I am a wife and mother of two wonderful children. My husband is Dr. Alphonso Evans, recently graduated with his Doctorate degree from Gwynedd Mercy University. He is an Assistant Superintendent in an urban district and also has a passion for inner city children.   ]]> 2019-05-13 13:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359462786 tevans79 https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359466341 I am currently a Neubauer Fellow and a doctoral student on this journey with each of you. My ultimate desire is to continue to impact Black and Brown scholars in inner city schools who are often the left behind. I plan to do this through my continual mission in the School District of Philadelphia and through the development of other turn around school models. ]]> 2019-05-13 13:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359466341 tevans79 https://padlet.com/tevans79/di1xwyasp1vf/wish/359477677 Alphonso Evans Jr. is 15 years old and just completed 9th grade at the Haverford School for Boys.
