The hardest most rewarding profession

Learning is hard work. People learn better when they feel valued and supported. To value and support learners, we must know them. We honor learners by caring for them as they are and simultaneously expecting more of them. People learn differently. Teaching is more effective and efficient when it matches learner need. Virtually all learners benefit when they learn in places with high instructional ceilings and lots of ways to climb to the top.

"If we allow ourselves to fall in love with what we do, we will be reborn countless times, almost always in a form stronger and more fully human than the one that preceded it."
