It is time to begin a new professional chapter and I am excited to jump in with both feet. Supporting teachers, reaching struggling learners, coaching, and helping to facilitate school-wide change requires a unique skill set. It demands a willingness to reinvent oneself, embrace change, and honor all ideas as possibilities. My priority continues to be student achievement. I want children to find their voice and realize their personal power. I want them to know the feeling of agency and creating their own learning. I want students to become life long learners who are armed with the skills necessary to demonstrate their abilities on high-stakes assessments. I have no idea who Monroe Public Schools would like me to become. And I'm not going to fib and say I'm not scared or anxious. I am. Jumping off a cliff without knowing what is in the water below requires a certain degree of faith.
