Teaching Style
It is my intention to provide each student with a safe learning environment. Within this environment, individuals will be allowed the freedom to express their views, while respecting the rights of all others. I will maintain an eclectic view on teaching methods and philosophies, based on which approach best addresses the learning styles and specific needs of each individual student. I will promote diversity by adhering to state and federal laws such as “No Child Left Behind” and Individuals with “Disabilities Education Act” in an effort to ensure that every student has the opportunity to meet or exceed their individual learning objectives.
My Hobbies
Playing and watching sports, Gardening, landscaping, Biking, Swimming.
