 Brian has a firm moral compass and that's evident in his work with not only kids but with adults. Regardless of whether or not he was your school associate or a colleague or your teacher, he kind of treats everyone with this expectation that they can do their best. He really gets kids to work hard on developing all the things that make them be able to express themselves. We've been able to take Brian's ideas and implement them into the school and because of that we've been able to bring a tighter-knit perspective on acceptance and diversity in multiple ways. I feel like what we do as teachers is we kind of deal in the economies of pride and hope. If we can make them proud of who they are and hopeful about what they can achieve and what they can be, that's what education is at its finest. I want to find ways for kids to just be comfortable in their authenticity.
