When I became be a teacher, I taught at Horizonte Instruction and Training Center, the Alternative High School for SLC District, which changed my life. The students there face challenges I couldn't even imagine. Few of them were on grade level in reading or math and all of them were angry about it. I felt it too. Students in my classroom discovered that they could learn and succeed. I got to watch it happen.
While I LOVED helping my students pull themselves out of difficult holes, I couldn't help feeling the need to prevent kids from falling into the hole in the first place. Our District leaders work really hard to prevent the digging of holes! I think the key is to make sure decision makers are weighing options together with major stakeholders, especially teachers, students, and parents.
Education is more than a career to me. It is part of my identity. As a member of the Granite School Board I'll put that passion to work for the benefit of all our kids.- I am a teacher and understand how policy and financial decisions affect classrooms.
- I grew up in this community and understand the strengths and needs of our students.
- I spend meaningful time in schools and listen to teachers, students, and parents.
2. ENCOURAGE LOCAL CONTROL: Our district is so large that it's hard to meet everyone's needs. I'd like to help create a culture, a policy, and a vision that encourages more local control so in the midst of being large, we can also meet the needs of individual kids, schools and communities.
3. CONNECT DOLLARS TO CLASSROOMS: Our district is so large and it is hard to make sure we understand how every dollar affects our kids. The only way to make this connection is by listening to students, parents, and teachers. The best way I can do this is by attending PTA and Community Council Meetings, being involved in all kinds of Community events, and eating lunch in faculty rooms and cafeterias.
