With your help, I intend to become the founder of an international nonprofit called EDUCATORS UNITED.
A school that serves all of its students. Especially where it is needed the most.
EDUCATORS UNITED will be an international education reform nonprofit dedicated to uniting teachers, administrators, tutors, and former students from all over the globe in an effort to transform or "turnaround" individual schools, anywhere in the world. We will happily work with governments, and we wish to collaborate with many different organizations. In the end, however, it will be a school's choice to have us working with them, as a team...and we will not give up on them. We will start small, maybe with just one or two schools, in order to get our feet wet. We will work with these schools to develop 3 to 5 year "transformation plans", and we will help them stick to their plans the whole time. And, when it is time to move on, we will expand our efforts, and unite with even more schools. So...if you're interested in working with educators across the globe towards a common purpose...if you're interested in seeing what happens when we take all the best ideas in education that our cultures and individual minds have to offer, and unite them...if you want to be one of many to set high expectations for yourself and those around you...and, most of all, if you feel the need to make real change in this world...then join us! EDUCATORS UNITED wants you.
I am currently volunteering at a secondary school in the Middle East. I will return to the States in 2012 to continue my work.
