Interviewed for Daily Edventures

6/6/2012

I was recently honored with the opportunity to be interviewed for Anthony Salcito's 365-day look at global heroes in education for his DAILY EDVENTURES blog.
At first I thought that they were confused about who I am. I work in a little elementary art room in the suburbs of Chicago. How could I be worthy of the title, "Global Hero" ?

I'm still not convinced that what I do with/for my students is all that heroic. I'm certain my teaching experiences have been shaped by my great fortune in working for a forward- thinking supportive district, surrounded by talented teachers, within a school full of wonderfully creative students.
