SAMUEL M. THOMPSON IV, Ed.D.PERSONALGrowing up in Baldwin, New York, provided a foundation for learning through a quality Long Island public school. My parents struggled and sacrificed to raise us there, and as educators themselves, they understood the importance of a quality education. A proud Baldwin H.S. alumnus, I remember fondly the learning experiences as an athlete and a student, which would transfer to higher education.
Most of my 30 years since high school have been spent continuing education in one form or another. If not engaged in learning or reflecting, I enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle exercising, playing sports, or traveling with my family. They truly are my inspiration through life’s challenges. This folio represents what keeps me motivated as a person. “Collaboration allows teachers to capture each other's fund of collective
intelligence.” ― Mike Schmoker |
