INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION

changing lives. transforming tomorrow. Thursday, June 7 | LIU INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION 1 University Plaza, Brooklyn, NY, 11201

Think back to your time in elementary and high school. Can you recall a particular teacher who inspired you? One who encouraged you to achieve more than you ever thought possible? One who motivated you or facilitated the achievement of your dreams? Most of us can recall one or two teachers who truly made a difference. Others, if they are fortunate, can point to a handful of teachers who played a key role in shaping their lives.

At Sanford Inspire, we think that’s setting the bar too low. In fact, we believe that every student deserves a teacher who inspires greatness, and we’re working hard to turn that dream into a reality. Imagine being a student in a school where an inspired teacher is the norm rather than the exception; where all teachers bring out the best in their students. Such a school has the power to transform students, teachers, the community, and society. Sanford Inspire is not a set program or a curriculum. It’s a movement designed to make the world a better place through inspired education. To learn more about Sanford Inspire, please visit sanfordinspire.org
