BIO
PHILOSOPHY
One of my main goals as a teacher is to promote wellness, self discovery, responsibility and a passion for the arts for all students within and outside of the context of the classroom. As a dedicated member of the athletic community and a teacher I plan to demonstrate such values such as teamwork, honesty, responsibility and respect to students and colleagues . I truly believe that students success is derived from inspiration, empowerment and support from teachers and mentors. This success is found in school environments where a well-rounded educational experience for the whole student is provided and all educators work together to achieve the schools goals.
