“What the educator does in teaching is make it possible for children to become themselves.” 
–Paolo Friere

There may have been no other time in history when both the value and challenge of providing a good education have so clearly made themselves known.

Winston Churchill said, “Never let a good crisis go to waste.” But there’s also no need to encourage one! Today’s leaders have an unprecedented opportunity to reimagine schools today and proactively shape their future.

Change begins with a vision, and while ours may not all be identical, there are important points we can agree upon.

Effective educators create opportunities that…

  1. Support the whole child– mind, body, and spirit
  2. Address equity gaps to make learning accessible to all children
  3. Nurture passion, adaptability, and readiness for an uncertain future
  4. Create a school culture where success is personal and failure a pathway to growth
  5. Make the most of scarce resources and sustain those we have

My work can help you address all of these objectives.
