Inquiry matters.  When we inquire together, instead of simply memorizing, we develop a deep sense of what is true and real from living the learning process.  It helps us to listen better to one another. It helps us honor those scientists, readers, writers, mathematicians, and historians who’ve come before us, and contribute more confidently ourselves.  I believe that we have the opportunity to add more humanity to education through inquiry. I do this by ensuring that we have the time, space, resources, and community to truly inquire and investigate.  I work to encourage and support collaboration and conversations that lead us all to grow.  I dedicate myself to making the space for all members of our community to contribute to this place we call our learning home.
