Introduction

Welcome to my blog. This first post is going to introduce myself (which is partially done in the "About Me" section to the right) and help explain what this blog is about.

I am currently in the final semester of my Master's program. I am pursuing a degree in Educational Administration. I am taking this course as an elective because I have been in class with Dr. Wickersham previously and I am very interested in technology and expect to be able to sharpen the skills I have as well as learn some new ones.

5th graders are my current project. I teach science to a bunch of them in McKinney,TX. I love to teach but am becoming more and more disillusioned with the current educational systems that are in place in Texas and the US. My current goal is to help my students to become life-long learners and to truly become scientific thinkers in their worlds. I have accepted a new position that I will be fulfilling this fall. I will be the principal of Kigali International Community School in Kigali, Rwanda. I am very excited about the possibilities that this position entails. I will be operating a school outside the confines of the American Educational system. I believe that the board, staff and I have the common goal to do what is best for the students we work with and are looking forward to doing what works not just we are told is best. I plan on living and working in Kigali for the next five years.
