What is teaching to me?
Teaching is the privileged opportunity I have to encourage students to
achieve beyond their personal potentials, goals, and expectations through the
assimilation of knowledge, the application of problem solving, and the
reflection of their inner self.
My Classroom Expectations:
1. Be Respectful
2. Do Your Best
3. Never Give Up
