Lyndon Johnson, Ann Turnbull, and Sandy Escobido offers great words of inspiration and motivation

Lyndon Johnson

“Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity.”

“We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.”


Ann Turnbull

“Positive behavior support is an approach for helping children develop social and communication skills, while creating a positive environment for learning and growth. Essentially, positive behavior support is a package of strategies, not just one intervention.”


Sandy Escobido

“ My passion stands from my personal experience growing up. My mom and dad come from different countries. My mom comes from Mexico and my dad from El Salvador,  they came to this country looking for oppitunity for themselves and for me.”

“So when I go to these parent meetings and actually see parents see how to speak to policy makers and learning how to write letters and learning how to tell their stories and share their voice that’s what keeps me motivated regardless of all the challenges going on.”

  2. Ann Turnbull is right. Each of us will have a different approach when dealing with children; but the strategies you choose to use will make positive behavior support easier.

  3. Great quotes. I especially agree with Johnson's quote about education not just being a luxury. In this day and age, you cannot get anywhere without a good education.
