Pauline is an inspiration to teachers every where. She is an amazing educator who is always exploring new tools, methods, and lessons to engage her students. As a lifelong learner who always has a new course or new adventure she is involved in, she is a wonderful role model for her students. She works tirelessly to expose her students to experiences that will ensure deeper understanding and critical thinking. The work of her students has inspired my older students (10th graders). I guess the highest compliment I could give Pauline is that I wish Pauline could teach my two children.
