My Teaching Philosophy

As a teacher, my mission is to make sure that all of my students have an opportunity to be successful in my classroom.  I will always have high expectations regarding their classwork and behavior.  My mission is to prepare my students to succeed not only at the next level but also in anything that they set out to do.  I want each student to be able to believe in him or herself and become lifelong learners.  I will treat all students with respect.  Social interaction among the students will be a priority and I expect respect for all.
