I am learning that communication reaches far beyond speech and the relationships of words.

Communication is the human connection, verbal or nonverbal. Communication is the acquired skills of empathy and inclusion.

As a teacher, I will host space in my classroom to have dialogue about not only academia, but also culturally and also about personal awareness. Well rounded communication skills begins with a self awareness and mindfulness.

My students will communicate, not only their classmates, but with me as their teacher, mentor and friend.

My students will learn to be able to communicate their thoughts, feelings and ideas articulately and creatively.

Being able to express your ideas, feelings and knowledge helps elevate the world around you.

Therefore, communication is one of the most important teaching values that I focus to instill in my students.
