Our kids face greater social, emotional, personal, and global challenges that ever before.
That’s why I became a teacher. I wanted to influence the classroom agenda – work right in the impact zone.
Nothing has changed. But everything has changed.
As a school and system leader I was able to broaden and deepen that influence.
At a global level, I continue to build on an appreciative, explicit, and highly intentional foundation to support teachers, leaders and learners to become better at what they do. And to become better equipped to flourish in this complex society.
