James is a teacher at Revival Sanctuary School in Satellite. From the time we completed our first Leadership Training, we have seen how James has transformed his classroom. He puts learning first to make sure his teaching gets better each time. James invests his time and energy in learning new ways to improve his classroom. Students who are supported by teachers like James can break through all learning barriers to achieve their goals.

We are often inspired by teachers like James. Teachers who genuinely care about students wellbeing, both inside and outside the classroom. Below is a quote from James: You can watch more on our Decade of Dignitas video.

“I used think that teaching is teaching. But after coming to Dignitas, I discovered that I can become a champion teacher who is result oriented, helping and transforming the lives of my children.” James
