I teach 2nd grade in a high poverty community. In the eyes of our data driven world, most of my students fall short of being grade level proficient. They are a work in progress, each with endless potential. They come with different needs but also with many different gifts. Just like our children, they dream of a bright,successful future. I'm inspired by them every day when I see the effort they put into reaching their academic goals. These vibrant learners deserve a rich, meaningful public education that prepares them for the responsibilities, opportunities, and challenges that await them as they become contributing members of society. With your help we can find a way to flatten the hurdles my students contend with.
