Hello and welcome to my blog, Treasure Seeker. The name of the blog is inspired by the following quotation from the Baha'i writings:
"Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, reveal its treasures and enable mankind to benefit therefrom."
As a classroom teacher I believe my primary job is to seek out and reveal the treasure that lies within each and every one of my students. This blog is dedicated to capturing the highs and lows of the process of Treasure Seeking through my instructional practice.
I look forward to sharing this experience with you and to hearing your thoughts and comments.
