All children, given equal access to quality public education, can learn. I am a teacher, mentor, writer, and communications professional with over 30 years of progressive experience. I am particularly passionate about the way children learn, public education, and the appropriate uses of technology. I work hard to prepare students for a literate and rich future. I am dedicated to bringing together communities of teachers, learners, leaders, and parents. I believe in helping create simple, clear, direct, and honest communications and learning channels between schools and communities, building mutual support and trust for our mission — the education of children.
