What I do in the classroom, and what I learn from my students, impacts everything I do, from the research I conduct to the service I provide in the community. I am a better person, professor, and scholar thanks to them and all the countless things they have taught me about teaching, about working with students and families, and about creating classroom experiences that go beyond the four walls of my classroom.
