“What the educator does in teaching is make it possible for children to become themselves.”
–Paolo Friere
For a variety of social, political, and technological reasons, our education system today is at a point of deflection.
Disruptions can be taxing. But they are the drivers of evolution.
Today’s school leaders are being presented with both a social mandate and an unprecedented opportunity to reimagine schools now and to fundamentally shape their future.
Change begins with a vision. Here’s what I’ve learned from observation, research, and experience.
Effective educators create opportunities that…
- Support the whole child– mind, body, and spirit
- Address equity gaps to make learning accessible to all children
- Nurture passion, adaptability, and readiness for an uncertain future
- Create a school culture where success is personal, where errors and wrong turns are a pathway to growth
- Don’t waste time and energy and make the most of scarce resources
My work can help you address all of these objectives.
