Quotables

I’m not preparing them for High School. I am preparing them for life.
I need to prepare them to function as global citizens.
A great educator has to be a continuous learner. They have to see themselves in a progress of learning- they can never have arrived. Anyone who has arrived is going to have a rough awakening.
If you’re not reading, you’re not learning.
It was that ego that buried my passion.
Accountability with love
Is there a better way to reach my students?
The project is not the dessert of the unit…it’s your main course.
You don’t want to be preparing tomorrow’s lesson today.
There’s a difference between NO PACE and AT YOUR OWN PACE.
The answer to every question not asked is a “No.”
