In order for us to achieve equity in our classrooms, it is necessary to establish equality as an axiomatic truth. To be equal means to see and value one another as human while to be equitable would be to provide everyone with what they need to succeed. #equityineducation

I advocate for removing letter grades altogether. The focus shouldn’t be on a letter or number, it should be focused on students’ ability to actually DO and USE what they learned. I think we should focus on application instead of ranking. #educationreform #schoolchange

We need to rethink our foundational values of schooling. Schools aren’t supposed to indoctrinate children into a given social order. Rather, schools ought to be a garden of improvement. #schoolchange #educationreform

Unfortunately our current school system is missing the point. Grades are not the goal, personal and interdependent development are. We should be cultivating a world oriented toward social justice. #educationreform #socialjustice

The time has come to uproot our current neoliberal school system and rebuild it with values of developing the full human person. That requires communication and understanding of one another. I’m working on developing a new school system founded on altruism and interdependence.

This is so true. If we want to cultivate the next generation of forward thinkers, we need to equip them with the capacity to create and use their knowledge in unique and practical ways

We don’t want our kids to be encyclopedias of information. We want them to be critical thinkers, doers, dreamers, and innovators. We want them to be people capable of turning every situation into a valuable lesson. We want them to be cultivators of a brighter future.
