Teacher Background and Philosophy I am excited to be guiding your child in their last year at Sims. It will be a tremendous year of growth as they transition into middle school. This will be my tenth year teaching at Sims and my twenty-third year as a teacher. My educational goals for your children is in line with the district’s focus which is having each student meet or exceed the California State Standards and Benchmarks for sixth grade . In every subject area I hold students accountable to these rigorous standards while also developing the whole child. My goal is to plan lessons and assessments that empower all students to achieve their full potential both socially and academically. I will support their development by being respectful and compassionate towards them. Students will be held accountable for attaining high expectations while learning to be problem solvers and productive members of our community. As a team we guide, monitor push and encourage your child to do their personal best to achieve to their highest capacity, but, your child is ultimately responsible in determining and then enjoying their success this year as they begin this huge transition to middle school.
