I fell in love with Jean Schumaker's story of how she was influenced by her parents, education, and life opportunities to become one of the founders of the Strategic Instruction Model. At first, I was taking notes because I wanted to remember every single thing she said...and then I stopped because I realized I would never forget her story. 

Before hearing her story, I already loved SIM because I truly believe in it. After hearing her story, I sent my principal a text telling her I wanted to move to Kansas and work at the Center for Research on Learning.
