An aspiring leader in urban education, Justin Phillips believes deeply that all kids are "ours." In the roles of instructional coach, teacher (high school and middle), adjunct professor (community college), and athletic coach, Justin has demonstrated passion, persistence, and (often) effectiveness in reaching a spectrum of learners. Justin believes students will soar, when they are appropriatly challenged, connected to caring adults, and pushed to take learning outside the classroom walls. From his days working in the non-profit sector, Justin is convinced that partnerships with existing community resources hold vast promise for the acceleration of learning in public schools. Justin currently teaches 6th and 7th grade English in San Diego Unified School District. He writes regularly about relevant issues in urban education at www.thosekidsareourkids.com
