Mountains beyond Mountains is a wonderful book by Tracy Kidder. It is the story of Dr. Paul Farmer who spends his life in Haiti, helping cure diseases like TB and AIDS. Now what does this story have to do with education? We determined that there were many metaphors and ideas throughout this book that can be applied to education. The main one being to work with the individual students you have now. It is important to differentiate your instruction for each individual because we are all different. Our slogan became 'Think Globally, Act Locally' to remind us that the big goals are necessary, but they can only be accomplished if we work on a person by person basis.
