Carry A Compass to Help You Along

Stand by REM has been a favorite song of mine.  It has given me the emotional courage to stand by my values.  What values you ask?  I live by the insights of visionaries.  I implement research based models and methods of instruction.  I am guided by the Ten Common Principles and other compatible perspectives.  I make decisions based upon ethics and morality.  My practice is professional because that is right and good.

This is what it means to be an ideal teacher—one that acts from a core of inspired proven ideals.
