My Teaching Philosophy:
-
As a teacher, I have the responsibility to serve my students, the school, and the subject matter that I teach. To ensure that I meet these responsibilities I must be prepared to teach a diverse student population and encourage discussions relating to the subject matter. These discussions will increase the transfer of knowledge into “real-life” situations as I encourage students to actively participate in lectures and presentations that promote learning. I also endeavor to perform research relating to all subjects that I teach thereby adding additional information to the current body of knowledge.
Career and Job Goals:
- Within five years I plan on having my Masters Degree in Administration
- I would like to coach soccer at the High School level
- To work effectively with every colleague so that we may better ourselves and our students
- Within seven years I would like to become an Athletic Director
- To influence every child that I come in contact with in a positive manner so that they may take what they learn from me and use it in the real world
