He is passionate about infusing CLR strategies into his classroom and into professional development to make sure that all students’ and adult learners’ cultural behaviors are validated and affirmed. Tim’s continued journey to responsiveness deepens his commitment to empowering all learners by creating a classroom that values all voices, especially those that need outrageous love, in order to be heard. He is honored and humbled to work as an instructional adviser with CCRTL and relishes the opportunity to advise educators as they build their skillset and deepen their mindset.
