• identify and develop the interests they have within themselves so they may enjoy life and improve the human condition;
• gain enough wisdom to be self-sufficient in, and contribute to, a democratic society.

My role is to create an environment where children are:

• challenged and engaged by worthwhile, significant goals;
• free to pursue these goals in ways that help them construct their own meaning.

My commitment is to:

• appreciate the children for who they are;
• enjoy their journey with them.

My role in education in the next ten years is to:

• Learn how existing technology can help students work together to construct their own sense of the world;
• Share these understandings with others so they can knowledgeably choose to use these technologies with their students; and
• Lead the development and implementation of yet unknown technologies that promise to help achieve these goals.
