Teaching with Compassion

Welcome to my Blog. I look forward to sharing great information and conversation regarding best practices in education the high school students of today! Such a unique time we live in! Many opportunities and challenges for all of our students.  Educators, consider the following:

"We can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.  We can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal....For we make the difference.  We can destroy the heart and mind of one child or many children or we can open hearts and minds of children and instill a feeling of true worth and human dignity that will enable a child to surmount the tragedies of poverty, of prejudice, of futility.  We need go no further than the nearest classroom to find a child already beaten by life, a child who already feels he is nobody.  We can help him feel that he is somebody.  We make the difference" (unknown)
