    As a rebel.

    Explanation:

    According to Robert Merton's Social Strain Theory of deviance, this educator would be classified as a rebel. Robert Merton classified deviant behavior according to the individual's adherence to cultural goals and the means of obtaining these goals. This educator is rebelling against both the cultural goals and the means of obtaining them. Moreover, she is proposing new goals and news methods of achieving the new goals she has set.
