I would like to work as a child advocate, teaching teachers how to incorporate the tenets of Universal Design for Learning into the classroom so that all students can thrive and feel valued.

My two children understand and respect this--one of the reasons I continue to keep them around... |

You moved the pot before the coffee stopped brewing. Do you smell the mountains or the burro?
Neither. I'm too busy freebasing the coffee remnants off of the counter top to actually smell anything beyond singed plastic and grout dust...
