“The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people.  But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind.  It needs people who live well in their places.  It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and human.”  (David Orr, What is Education For?)  My goal as an educator is to help students discover who they are and who they want to be by giving them opportunities to experience.
