On-air quotes:
“When test scores are the holy grail of education, you won’t be focusing on critical thinking, creative thinking, systems thinking.”
“A strategic way to do the most good and the least harm is to ask yourself: What do I think is important? What am I good at? What do I love to do? Find where these meet.”
“Our goal is a humane educator in every school and every teacher a humane educator.”
