I am an elementary school teacher with 15 years of experience. I have taught in both private and public school settings. I have a master's degree and National Board Certification. I have worked with students from a wide variety of backgrounds. I have worked with several administrators, all with different viewpoints on education. I have worked with many, many other educators with different levels of experience, knowledge, and skills. Over the course of these years and experiences, I have come to develop strong opinions about education.
I hope to use this blog to connect with others who feel strongly about education. Maybe some of you will agree with what I have to say, and will feel validated knowing that others share your opinions. Maybe some of you will disagree with me, and will walk away shaking your heads. Either way, please feel free to comment. I believe that ideas can only improve with discussion and input.
I hope that my blog will spark discussion about education and education policy. I think we all know that things must change, but many aren't sure about what should change or how to change. So let's take a look at where we are and where we want to be; maybe then we will see a path to get there.
