LEARNING
MANIFESTO
How do people learn? How many different ways are there to learn? Is one way of learning better than another? What should a teacher do to help all students learn?
​
As a teacher, it is part of my job to think about these questions daily. A dedicated teacher helps all students learn in a variety of ways. In today's world, digital learning is a major component of education.
In education, there are many aspects being done right, and just as many aspects being done wrong. I believe that digital learning has the ability to enhance what is right and fix what is wrong. With digital learning, however, comes issues across not just my region and the state of Pennsylvania, but also across the nation and the world. As mentioned in the video, a regional challenge is teacher resistance. I am proud to say, however, that I am in a school district that embraces instructional technology with many teachers coming on board. Technology is taking over the world, including the world of education. It has the power to transform education, but it comes at a cost.
​
I am passionate about teaching. I am passionate about learning. I am passionate about technology. My three passions come together in my "Learning Manifesto" as I discuss emerging issues related to digital learning and leading, my core belief systems about digital learning, and education in today's world.
