I am what I am.
- Galvin Deleon Guerrero
- Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands
- Husband of one. Father of three. Student of many. Educator of all.
...and I am an eduholic.
My name is Galvin Deleon Guerrero...and I am an eduholic.
I have been an educator for 25 years now. In that time, I have served in many educational policy positions, including the state Board of Education for the Northern Mariana Islands, the Board of Regents for Northern Marianas College, and as an education adviser for the Office of the Governor in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. I have also also served in numerous educational leadership positions in K-12 and post-secondary institutions, including vice principal, principal, director of institutional development, director of institutional effectiveness, and accreditation liaison officer. Along the way, I have also continued to teach high school and college courses in Speech and Debate, AP English Literature, AP US History, and AP US Politics and Government.
However, I don't proclaim to be an expert on education. In fact, I am constantly learning only to learn that the more I learn, the less I know.So, I encourage y'all to read these thoughts as catalysts for further thought. In other words, I hope my thoughts galvanize your thoughts.
