Classroom Mission:

My goal in teaching is to teach my students not what to learn but how to learn. As the teacher, I believe I assist the students in their learning. I plan to provide resources and content for them to become lifelong learners. I want to surround them with positive opportunities for growth so they can be successful in their community. I believe that the purpose of education is to help the learner grow and mature into a strong problem-solver and good citizen in a community. As for classroom behavior, I enforce only two rule that I feel cover most situations. I call them the “2 R’s” which are respect and responsibilities. I also believe that everyone in the classroom has choices, which may impact them positively and negatively. For these choices, I have created a classroom money system that incorporates a few different behavior systems that I have felt to be affective.
