An African proverb says, “Even the best dancer on the stage must retire sometime.” While I am far from retirement, I believe my impact as a leader is tied to the dancing skills of those poised to take my place. My educational leadership mission is to identify and address barriers that impede learning and cultivate spaces for educators to exchange knowledge. This mission is built upon the foundation of my teaching philosophy and is enacted in four approaches: inquire, improve, involve, and impart.
The visualization below shows the contributions I have made to computing education based on the four approaches mentioned above.
