Student First

I love sharing what I’ve learned.

I haven’t always been good at it–my methods early on were often more destructive than constructive. My passion and ego regularly got in the way of helping others learn.

I see this time and time again in well-meaning educators. They are so wrapped up in what the subject matter means to them, they fail to realize their job:

To be an assistant to discovery for others.
To engage curiosity.
To create emotional connection.
To empower.
To inspire.
To develop.

This requires restraint. A powerful yet humble approach. A mindset of service.

How do we identify true educators?

It’s not a certain skill threshold, number of accolades, or fame.

It’s simple:

True educators put the student at the front of the class.
