I believe in combining evidence-based practices with a personalized approach to customize content, strategies, and materials to help each student learn best.

...learners can access the depth of the content. An example might be to have them select quotations from Civil Disobedience, put them in their own words, write whether they agree with them or not and create a visual of a selected passage from Walden.

...I hold an elderly woman's hand after she receives chemo. Today, when I consider my first experience of anaphylaxis at that restaurant, I am filled not only with the terror of my throat closing, but also with a deep gratitude for having access to medical resources and support.
