Making Some Changes

After much deliberation, I have decided to move on to other teaching opportunities.  I am completing my second year of teaching at The Children's School and have evaluated my personal and professional goals.  After many conversations with the school's director and friends in the education field I have determined that it would be best if I move on.  By resigning now I am giving the school board ample time to find a suitable replacement. 

Professionally, I am interested in instructional technology and urban education.  I would like to research these areas more through a PhD program.  However, before I can effectively pursue a doctorate, I need to have experience teaching in a urban setting.  By moving on from The Children's School I will be able to teach at a school in my community on the South Side of Chicago.  My community schools are often in need of dedicated teachers who believe as I do that all children can learn and achieve their dreams if they have committed adults who care for them on their side. 

I am looking forward to the new challenges that await me at these schools.  I am thankful for the many great people I have had the chance to work with and meet while at The Children's School.
