Today was the first day at the high school and everyone was kind and welcoming. However, as I was doing a presentation about South Philadelphia High School in front of the students the principal walked into the classroom and said, "Excuse me." I nodded my head to signal no problem and continued. Then he said, "Excuse me" again! Apparently I needed to stop what I was doing until he left the room. I'm much more used to the principal waiting a minute or two until I am finished.

I am a high school English to Speakers of Other Languages teacher. I am passionate about bridging cultures, diversity and teaching and learning in a flattened world. I am inspired by the words of Kwame Anthony Appiah, "The challenge, then, is to take the minds and hearts formed over the long millennia of living in local troops and equip them with ideas and institutions that will allow us to live together as the global tribe we have become."
