Philosophy & Vision
Years of system-wide and school-wide reform opportunities, have been my action research. They have taught me about the way in which people take on new ideas, new information and ultimately, new understandings that lead to changed actions. They have also revealed the reasons why people don't move. And by people I mean students, teachers and parents. The human side of school change is the critical piece. Attention to this aspect is my deep commitment. When you teach, you want it to matter, not for tomorrow but for long after you are invisible in the process. Thus we educate for a time we will never see.
