My philosophy is to hold students to high academic, personal, & spiritual standards. I will continuously raise the bar in the classroom and create an atmosphere of safety and confidence where they are encouraged to be there for each other as positive role models and character builders.
I hope to create a climate of care and kindness where everyone is able to express their thoughts without fear of failure or rejection. It would be better to say something and raise further questions than to keep their mouth closed.
I want to take each day as an opportunity for new beginnings and fresh starts. If the previous day wasn't great, I want my students to know that every morning is a chance to try again.
I want to be able to lead in a way the shows parents I am confident in my position as a leader but also someone who will listen to their needs and concerns. I will treat each individual as just that - individual.
As the curriculum is a guide, I will use my creative teaching to assist in learning abilities across the board. I desire to motivate students to create goals for themselves and help each other reach those goals as responsible citizens of the classroom, community, and church.
I will keep checking to see how they are doing and how they feel about their progress in school by asking direct questions and giving out surveys and reports about their accomplishments in class.
