Outlook and Goals
I have found success in many different curriculum initiatives, methods and practices. I enjoyed Singapore Math, Exxon Math from the 90’s, Riggs spelling and phonics, Different Ways of Knowing, and several others. Music and storytelling have always been a part of my classroom. I believe in the success for a new generation of students with a future we can only imagine. Teaching is a vocation, a sacrifice, and an honor. I’ve always gotten results because I earned them. I’m flexible and diplomatic. I’m reasonable and cooperative. I want to contribute to the school where I work.
