- Her experience ranges from the inner city to an affluent community… from a first grade classroom to an auditorium at the university level. She has had the eager and at-risk (all in the same class), has faced budget cuts, shared a classroom due to being overcrowded, and taught her first year from an overhead cart in any space that was free for a class period.
You have to help others discover their dreams and then get them moving toward it. If there is no movement, then there can be no navigation.
