I am a very work and detailed-oriented person. I pride myself on being efficient and dependable. If I make a promise or sign up for something, I will get it done. A major belief that guides me is the belief that if everyone has a level of empathy, they will cause positive ripples throughout the world. My sense of empathy drives me. I hope to instill empathy in my students and they will pass that along to their families and friends. My legacy would be teaching students how to tap into different perspectives and then to allow themselves to use those perspectives to create their own evidence-based world views and values.
My ideal reality for school is that I teach in a school where the majority of people (students, staff, parents, community) feel like they are a valued and vital member and they have a place to voice input. I want my fellow teachers to feel supported and valued.
