Superintendent's Educational Leadership Platform

I have a deep belief that education is about KIDS and their LEARNING. I also believe that instruction, assessment and active student engagement are the bridge to "HIGH levels of learning" being possible.

What does this mean?

• KIDS come first! Educators must do all they can to meet the physical, social-emotional and academic needs of students.
• The "adult in the room" matters more than anything! Thus, educators must also provide high quality instruction that is aligned with these needs and effectively assess whether or not instruction is meeting the needs of students.

With that said, educators doing their part is not all that is necessary, students must do their part as well. They must take advantage of the opportunities that are provided and cross the bridge that is being built for them.

If educators and students do what is necessary, students are capable of HIGH levels of learning. Students can cross the bridge!

I sincerely believe that KIDS are extraordinary and will ultimately change the world for the better. I believe it is the responsibility of educators to make sure that the necessary LEARNING occurs to make this possible.
