What I love most about teaching:

I am inspired by the thousands of intelligent, articulate and creative educators I have worked with the past eight years.

My favorite moment in teaching:

My grandmother's first teaching certificate, dated 1922, hangs above my desk. It means more than I can explain in words. The meaning behind that document guides everything I do in the classroom.
