My vision as a teacher is to change the world for good by impacting and empowering each student in my class. A free, just world will happen only as today's young people gain awareness of the patterns of the past that impact the present, and the power of equity and compassion to reverse these patterns. By giving students an honest view of the past and the present, coupled with the conviction, courage, & capacity to achieve real change, the future of our world will be in good hands.
