I believe students have a voice that should be harnessed and used to accelerate schools. Student voice = student belongingness = student attendance = student improvement.
The discipline system should maintain student dignity at all times, and proactive approaches are most always the most effective.
The Board itself needs to model behaviors of high trust individuals, which I can bring to the Board as a Level III certified trainer of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. This includes effectively utilizing Public Comment and Board Member Report periods of meetings.- If there are receive policies in place to deal with discipline, but no proactive policies, it's time to re-write policy.
- The structure of the school system must imbed opportunities for all students to have leadership roles and contribute their voice. If a kid can do it, why should an adult?
- The Board itself must re-write some board policies and protocols to increase the trust the community has in it as a whole.
My dad. He is such a loyal man who always does what his conscience tells him he *should* do. I get my moral compass from him. I will always do what I know in my heart is right even if it's not popular

I'm fully trained in the Trauma Smart program that Raytown teachers are getting this year.
I've already provided and analyzed data from the NWEA assessment that the district is implementing starting this year.
1. Continuous growth towards mastery and improvement for every student through relevant and rigorous curriculum and instruction.
