Introduction	I have been in the educational sector for over 7 years, both in the traditional public school system and the charter school world. The first few months of my teaching career were extremely difficult, as I had poor classroom management and my supervisor encouraged me to seek other career opportunities. Through trial and error, I discovered a classroom management system that resulted in great success; my students were able to make at least two grade levels of growth each year that I've taught them, and their test scores were on average four times as high as the district's test scores! Because of my success as a teacher, I was promoted to being the School Leader. This position has allowed me to coach and influence over 30 teachers towards successful outcomes. My school has been designated a Title 1 Academically Distinguished School, one of the highest honors that can be afforded a public charter school.
