An educator in the public schools for the last 29 years, I am bringing along on my next journey in education a compilation of everybody I've worked with, learned from: the students, springboards, showing me, leading me to what's meaningful; the parents, advocates with me for their children; student teachers, fresh eyes on old ideas; staff of similar and different pedagogic views, making me take a second look at things; my family living my intensity at home, sometimes carried over from school.
I plan to move forward with the same intensity; I don't know any other way to be. My intensity drives me, propelling me to find answers, better ways of doing things, preventing me from stagnating. I look forward to finding out what it is that will motivate me like the last 29 years.
