After years of sales and marketing, I focused my time, energy, blood, sweat, and tears on creating a better tomorrow for students in Kansas City.How Do We Grow From This? Kids across the state are experiencing social, emotional, and academic gaps. It was my job to be a safe, kind, trustworthy, respect-earned teacher and role model. SMART Goals. Setting Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound goals for myself, and my students- every semester, every month, every week, every day.Culturally Relevant Teaching & The Brain: I studied Zaretta Hammond’s book and was selected to sit on Ingel Elementary’s CRT Board.
