The "Greedy" Teacher

I believe all children should have access to high quality public education and that teachers and families should have a stronger voice in the debate on education reform. I suppose that makes me a greedy teacher.

About Me

Whitney Elliot: I am a product of the public school system from kindergarten through my undergraduate degree in education from UNC Chapel Hill. I have worked in public and private schools, both urban and suburban. I have an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I believe teachers, families, and communities should have a stronger voice in the debate on education reform. I believe students deserve more than standardized testing and scripted programs. I am a greedy teacher.
