Dr. Adrian J. Ford

Hear ye! From now on, please refer to me as an “Education Practitioner” and not “Teacher”. We do not teach but educate. Since students have different learning styles, we practice our content. There are medical practitioners, law practitioners; why not education practitioners?

I have a dream that I was teaching A$AP Rocky’s children and explained to him what they were going to do in the upcoming music showcase.

For my students who are always “shocked and appalled” {clutched pearls} when it’s grading time!!

We’re almost to our goal! Help us get over the hump! #apsarts @APSMidtown @thebetsybockman @sara_womack event.fan-pledge.com/794t82/
