I've been teaching and coaching in Williston for 28 years!   I grew up in southern Vermont, lived in a variety of cities as a young adult, then happily returned to this beautiful place.   I enjoy outside adventures and local connections.   Vermont is a perfect fit for me!   As a fan of this Green Mountain State, most lessons in class aim to connect children with the bounty and beauty of our landscape and people. 

Effort and growth mindset are a part of every day.   This philosophy is directly related to the research of Robert Marzano.   According to Marzano, "Although research on learning tends to focus on instructional strategies related to subject matter, students' beliefs and attitudes have a significant effect on their success or failure in school.   Research makes clear the connection between effort and achievement—believing you can often makes it so.
