I Believe…

… every child matters! Regardless of race, gender, identity, culture, religion, etc.

… mental health should be recognized and that resources should be provided.

… in order to get respect, you must give respect.

… educational spaces should be welcoming, safe, inclusive, and accessible for everyone.

… everyone has their own unique way of learning, and as an educator, it is my duty to support that.

… every person has the right to be addressed by their preferred pronouns. You should never assume how someone wants to identify.

… to learn, you must listen. You can learn from students just as much as you can teach them. Let their voices be heard.

… that every day is an opportunity to learn something new.

… with authority comes responsibility.

… you’re never done learning.

… everybody deserves equitable opportunities.

… in inclusive and diverse environment and education.
