Quotes

“It doesn't seem possible that it's been nine years since I was sitting with my own Class of 2001! On that day, I began an amazing journey that has impacted my life in a profound and powerful way—as well as the lives of other educators and students in Louisiana that I have had the privilege of meeting along the way. I realized I was now part of something so inconceivable, that I still have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. In 2001, I also learned about the TAP System—a comprehensive school reform initiative that I knew I had to be a part of. After all, TAP invests in teachers while keeping the focus on student growth.”
