✏️ I believe first and foremost that we best serve our students by teaching human beings first, curriculum second. The moment your curriculum comes first is the moment you burn out, and its time to find a new job! ✏️ I believe human beings are both intrinsically good, and intrinsically curious. ✏️ I believe in meeting learners, whether children or adults, where they are. You cannot teach anyone until you know them. ✏️ I believe in the recognition and celebration of difference, but I challenge attaching that difference to any kind of hierarchical privilege.
