Levers are Simple
Levers are simple machines that have a rigid arm around a fixed point or fulcrum. Force is transferred from one part of the arm to another. The input (effort) force is multiplied or redirected into an output (resistance) force. Levers are divided into three different classes.

Lever for Change
“The edTPA was a huge challenge in the beginning, but looking back at how it helped me learn to evaluate my teaching and reflect on my experiences has been a huge help in learning to become an effective educator.” 2013 Elementary Education Graduate
“The edTPA provided great insight on my ability to plan, implement and assess young children. It help me realize some areas where I needed to give more and improve in my teaching. The edTPA showed me where my strengths are, and most of all it showed me that I love what I do.” 2013 Birth-Kindergarten Education Graduate
