Life, More Inspired
We all want to make the world better, and there's never been a better time than right now. What if we reimagined school to be a place that was less about memorizing, replicating and consuming information that may be used in the future? What if the experience was more about making a contribution to the world, today? What if the school experience was organized around high-interest topics/clubs/projects that required the application of the humanities, the sciences and the arts? What if through this type of school experience you learn what you're good at doing, what you're passionate about, and how you might be of service to others? What if innovation was more about how to think in more original and in useful ways? And, what if personalized learning had nothing to do with technology platforms? There are brilliant minds and courageous souls doing this kind of work in communities all across the globe. I'm the Director (of doing badass work) at the Gary & Jerri-Ann Jacobs High Tech High, San Diego. We are a place for doers, dreamers and disruptors and we believe ALL people want to do meaningful work. Let us not wait for another to grant us permission to do BADASS work. We were meant to live a life of significance and purpose. I hold a BA in Human Development, two Master's Degrees in Education and Leadership, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, with an emphasis in Relational Trust. I live with my wife, two boys (Tommy & Noah), two cats, and little Shih-Tzu named Ozzie. Research My dissertation research focused on trustworthy principal behaviors and the school conditions that foster trust between the adults on campus. My belief in human-centered design is deeply rooted in the research findings. StrengthsFinder 2.0
