“The greatest teacher, failure is.” - Jedi Master Yoda
It is our job as teachers, principals, superintendents and educators alike to develop children to be able to adaptively reason, to think critically, and to respect others and be knowledgeable on others’ opinions. This is what fuels me to make my classroom an open, fair and equal-opportunity environment in which we cultivate an appreciation and respect for other cultures, think critically, and grow as citizens. I believe that each student has the ability to excel in school if presented with material that is engaging, planned, and properly assessed. It is my mission to use the skills I have learned, while always looking for ways to improve, to help guide students to be successful. |
