About The Teacher
Hello, Bonjour, Hola! My name is Flaviana Nicholas and I teach 8th grade Physical Science at J.E.R Richards Middle School. I grew up in the Virgin Islands and I am a mother of two lovely girls, Makala and Aylana. I attended Georgia State University. At Georgia State, I obtained a B.A. in Middle school Education with Certification in Social Studies and Science. My goal is to attain a master’s degree in Science Education and obtain my specialist degree in the future. I absolutely love teaching and hope to continue my teaching and learning for years to come!

Mission Label:


Mission
I was told that education is the building block of every society. I also believe that this statement is also true. I believe that every child regardless of his/her ethnicity, socioeconomic background, religion or even his/her living conditions deserves an equitable education. I believe that all students have the capacity to learn and are capable of learning. I believe that students are curious and the role of education is to help them find ways to answer that curiosity so they can become life-lonf learners. To be meaningful, education must move beyound the classroom and into the world in which they live. Students not only need an education, but they need one that will prepare them to be productive members of society. Because the world is made up of different people, learners, cultures, students need to learn to interact and get along with each other. I want to develop in my students such characteristics as: problem-solving, creative thinking and decision-making. The education that each student receives should also prepare each child to compete globally. I want to guide my students in setting age appropriate goals. I want them to be sure about themselves, confident and self-determine. Most of all I want them to become lifetime learners. I want them to know that they will always have someone in their corner, cheering for them. Most importantly, I want to make an impression on their lives that will follow them for a very long time. As a teacher, I want to instill my love for learning in my students and for them to strive for excellence. The last thing I want to leave with my students is that they should take responsibility for their own education and not leave it up to others and that all of us have strengths and weaknesses , which make us the individuals that we are.
