I am committed to creating a positive and safe learning environment for all of my students. An environment where students are inspired and encouraged to learn, and are motivated to achieve their academic and personal goals.

I will always put forth my best effort and will expect the same out of every student. I am not only an example for my students to follow, but a leader – empowering those within my classroom with affective and content knowledge as well as a love for learning that will enable them to become educated citizens and lifelong learners.

In the classroom students will become active learners and will have access to tools that have a high potential for supporting learning in creative and innovative ways. Students will develop skills that encourage problem solving, creativity, analytical thinking, collaboration, communication, ethics, and accountability.

It is my goal to provide all students with a challenging, yet fun experience in my classroom. I have extremely high expectations of all my students. I will be expecting all work assigned in class to be completed. Of course, all students do not work at the same pace. Some students will get their work done in class and some will not. If a student does not complete an assignment in class, he or she will be required to complete it at home. In addition to class assignments, tests, and quizzes, I will be assigning projects in various subjects throughout the school year. Some projects will be completed during class, while others are to be completed at home. Support from home will not only make students more successful in school this year but will also instill good study habits that will last a lifetime.
