Mission
It is my mission to become an educator with the proficiency, knowledge and resources to encourage academic excellence and provide the opportunity for students to enhance their educational practice and to increase their intellectual productivity through technology. I will provide sufficient resources to encourage the use of technology across the curriculum. My mission as a teacher is to significantly improve and develop the lives of the students I teach. My classroom will be an example of high integrity and culture. The students in my classroom will learn how to become great communicators and to uplift and inspire one another to be great. I aspire to make the teaching experience fun for the students as well as for myself. In pursuit of greatness I will inspire my students to think “outside of the box” and enhance their unique talents, skills and abilities. My final mission is to be a life coach, great listener and relatable educator.
