About Me

My photo
Inner-City Teacher
A world-traveler, an animal advocate, a wife, an aunt, an avid reader, a Greek... and a passionate inner-city teacher at heart, having closed on over a decade in the profession. Advocacy and politics of education have captivated my interest, as well as cost me teaching positions. You see, certain administrators and district leaders do not approve of those more vocal. I have been labeled "A persistent little *$%#" and am on a mission to capitalize my passion for education on that. Fortunately, I am currently in a supportive school setting, with teachers & administrators who support my efforts & roles in the school.
