"My definition of success is reaching a goal not just with hard work and dedication, but by making mistakes, learning from them and trying again. If you meet your goal easily, you’re not feeling true success. When achieving your goal involves sweat, grit and perseverance, that’s success."

I know we're succeeding when a student who is working hard on an articulation goal nails every 'r' when she does the school announcements. I know we're succeeding when my non-verbal fourth-grade student can effectively use his assistive technology to communicate his plans for his birthday over the weekend. I know we're succeeding when my usually explosive first-grade student recognizes his anxiety and requests a break. I know we're succeeding when I talk to kids at my weekly luncheons and they proudly share their academic and classroom successes. In sum, I know I'm succeeding as an educator when I observe the daily small successes of students achieving academically, socially, and emotionally." — Spotlight interview
