It is my belief that all children can learn no matter what their learning challenges may be. It is very important that an effective classroom teacher has a positive and productive environment for children to learn.  Creating a productive classroom begins with students accepting one another with respect in the classroom.

 

I am striving for each child to seek the desire to learn.  I am excited and very eager to present lessons to students through educational technology and hands-on learning.  I present many different teaching styles and models to help my students to become very successful learners.

I place a very strong emphasis on reading in my classroom. My students will see me reading and talking about books in many different genres.  I encourage students to pick up a book and read them as often as they can. My room is filled with an abundance amount of books for the students to read.  It is my dream for all students to create a desire for reading for years to come.

 

In these ways, I can instill in students to become very successful and respectful citizens.  I will give them the desire to want to be the best that they can be in their community and in society.  I want each child to leave my classroom with the confidence that they can be the best they can be and can reach any goal if they choose to strive towards it and become very successful achievers.
