”Being a champion for all students means just that: ALL STUDENTS! Not just the ones who are likeable and want help but also the ones who might resist your efforts. Even then, your core values drive you to stay true to this belief. This unwavering hope and faith can be the model to inspire others to do the same for all students." @casas_jimmy
"Stress is high for all we serve. Remember, our learners are going through a lot too. Take time to just listen. It's time invested. Not lost. #BeTheirWarrior @DavidGeurin
