I’m a career public educator in the state of Oklahoma. I serve as an administrator in Jenks Public Schools. Although my associations with my district and my educational institutions have shaped my views and experiences, the thoughts expressed in these postings and pages represent my perspective.  Perhaps not mine alone as you may find aspects that resonate with you, but I do not pretend to speak for any institution, organization or even educators in my state. Thanks for checking these ideas out.  I think education is truly a team sport so I look forward to any dialogue that may move us all forward as professionals committed to doing it for “them.”
