My Story:

I am in my eighth year of teaching in the State College Area School District. My pre-service teaching experience included being an intern at Penn State's Professional Development School in collaboration with the State College Area School District. What an awesome experience!

This past fall, I co-taught a math ed. course and served as a math professional development assistant (PDA) for Penn State University's Professional Development School. I'm not sure who learned more this past year - my interns or me! It was very exciting being on the other side of the pre-student teaching experience as I coached and supported my interns in their educational journey.

My Ideal School is a Place Where:

Everyone works together and supports each other to make our classroom, school, and community a better place to live.

It sounds like you've "grown up" in the district, starting with your pre-service experience, coming full circle to having your own interns. And I LOVE that your hero is one of your fellow teachers. I'd love to hear any ideas you might have for how The Five Freedoms Project and the Network can support you in your work :-)

We're partnering with The Forum for Education and Democracy on their Will We Really Campaign, launched on February 6, and hope you'll take a few minutes to visit the campaign web site: www.willwereally.org!

As you can see from the world map on our home page, we have a growing, eclectic community of individuals from across the globe -- from Brooklyn to Pakistan, from North Dakota to China. Thank you for taking the time to add your voice to that fascinating mix.

As you surf around the Network and its companion site, www.fivefreedoms.org, I urge you to share your voice throughout. Take our You Be The Judge First Amendment quiz (a new scenario every two weeks). Leave a comment on a fellow member's personal page and make a new contact. Upload a video to our gallery, or watch and react to one already there. Join (or start) a group or visit the Soapbox to contribute to (or start) a discussion. And invite others to join us.

In short, use your voice to co-create our online community :-)

Post a comment on my page anytime with questions or ideas. And please, the next time you're online, upload a photo to your personal profile -- the easiest way to make a virtual network feel more personal is by seeing each other's faces (and profile answers). Thanks again!
