Behind every dedicated teacher is a dedicated student. I am a life-long learner. I truly believe this is the only way to be a great teacher in our ever-changing world. No two students will be alike.

My experiences as an English teacher in Spain have reaffirmed this...

...formal instruction. There will always be inequities, misrepresentation, and poor decision making, but that does not have to compromise the student.

I believe in differentiation through play. I believe in lessons that are designed to take in the consideration the values of freedom and creativity. If...
