Hello Everyone,
I am actively working in the classrooms with teachers and their students. It's exciting work and I feel honored to be able to
encourage them to in what they are doing as well as inspire them to reflect on things in a fresh and new way. Here are some of the recent reflections I have shared with some of the teachers. Let me know what you think!
The following are general reflections that I’ve compiled as I am getting to know teachers and students in the New York City area.

I use TAG because it helps the conversation stay focused and also presents ideas and suggestions in a positive way. So, of course, I start with:

I learned, though that when my children reached middle school they needed me more than ever! So, let me just suggest that you take a deep breath and try to enjoy the ride!
