About The Teacher

Frederick Douglass, author, orator, statesman, reformer, and former slave 
understood the importance of reading and education.  He knew that to be able 
to read meant freedom in many different forms.  This concept is still true 
150 years later.  Douglass believed that “it is easier to build strong 
children than to repair broken men.”  I believe in that philosophy too.

The goal of education is to enrich our lives, become aware of our 
surroundings, empathize with the unknown, and strive for betterment of all 
people in this changing local and global world of ours.  My role as a 
teacher is to facilitate discovery and understanding.  I am a mentor and a 
guide, but I am also a pupil, a life long student.  I have a natural and 
genuine curiosity of people.

In my classroom, it is a safe and nurturing environment where students and 
their ideas are treated with respect and kindness. I am a facilitator not a 
dictator in the classroom. The teacher and the students establish rules 
cooperatively.  Students know and understand the clear guidelines and 
consequences of their behavior by implementing a Code of Conduct for the 
classroom environment.  As the teacher, I will model desired behavior such 
as respect for everyone and community building.  My students are in a risk-
free environment, safe from any ridicule.  We are a classroom community that 
cultivates and reflects the importance of the surrounding community.

It is my job as a facilitator of knowledge to make sure each student has the 
best educational experience possible. I believe in an integrated curriculum. 
One subject touches on so many other subjects; themes are easily integrated 
to produce thoughtful multifaceted students. I believe that it is important 
for students to learn how to use the tools and strategies I provide to 
construct a personal understanding of content. I want each child that walks 
into my classroom to succeed and become responsible and reflective 
individuals. I want what is best for all of my students.

I am committed to furthering my education as well as my students for 
countless years to come.  Thank you for visiting my class's website!
