My friend and pre-kindergarten teacher, Erin Q, gives me hope for the future of American education. She continues to provide her overcrowded, underfunded classroom full of four and five year olds with invaluable and authentic experiences that I am sure will stay with her students for the rest of their lives. I know that her time in the classroom will be followed by a lifetime of dedication to improving early childhood education policies throughout our nation. It is educators like Erin that provide me with hope for the educational movement throughout the United States.

This post is part of the MAT@USC: Masters in Teaching Hope for the holidays event. Did you have an experience or witness something in 2009 which gave you hope for the future of American education? If so, please see this post for more information on how to share it.
