My statement

My Statement/Declaratoria

Press here for Spanish

My passion? Teaching! If I were given the opportunity to modify the curriculum, each year I would start anew. Journalism, Drama and Cooking; Music, Dancing and Yoga; Math, Poetry and Ceramics; Piano, Physics and Photography… My list of school supplies? Not long; a notebook, color pens, play dough, and a camera, and there would not be a single person on this earth unable to participate in a percussion concert. Yoga, Computer Science, and Writing would take the place of Math, English and History, and Language would be taught only functionally… as in a class of Art in Chinese, or a Photography workshop in French. In lieu of History taught through the perspective of heroes and great events, I propose a course on point of view and autobiography. Every year oral culture would be renovated through my preferred genre: chronicle –I say, I heard, I was there…”


At the end of the day the results might be: interdisciplinary children who would not find it easy to pinpoint the three disciplines they would rescue from a cataclysm; having instead a passion for learning, learning to learn… Every year they would embrace a new discipline and repudiate those not adapting to reality… a reality in urgent need to be apprehended through the fresh look of a new methodology, a new approach…
