I'm very patient when trying to explain a topic to someone. I believe the majority of problems with comprehension people have, especially in math/science, are due to an incomplete background or an unclear explanation. With time and effort, most anyone can learn just about anything, and participating in that is very satisfying.

I hold the students accountable for their work, but I also will help them as much as possible.

Freshness of ideas, participative decision-making, and openness to suggestions characterizes my preferred teaching style. My experience has taught me that school curriculum should start with the long-term goals of making meaning and transference of learning. As an educator, I strive to be sure my students: a. acquire important information and skills,and b. transfer learning to new situations. Teaching with meaning and transfer requires authentic demands and application of the new skills and information. Students will not perform, and learning will be short term if they are not given authentic learning opportunities. It truly does take a village to raise a child. I am proud to be a member of this village. I have been an educator for over sixteen years.

I believe that every child is unique in how they learn and grow. I believe that in order to do my best in educating our children then I must continue to educate myself.

I believe the way to reach these children is to provide a nurturing and positive environment. It is of utmost importance not only to work with the children but to facilitate learning and cooperation with parents, school staff, and the community. By working together I believe we can find the right supports for every child’s needs. It is my goal to provide an atmosphere in which children can learn and achieve to their maximum potential.

If they struggle, then I will step in and help them. I prefer to go over the same material as much as needed until the student is comfortable with the subject matter. Then, I like to move on to a new subject.

I encourage students to relate among themselves, learn from one another. I listen to students for their knowledge and power. I learn from them, as they from me. I delight in lecture methods, as I do in smaller group situations, in which students team-up in groups of 4-5 and work through projects as a team. They then present their findings as a team. It's proven a remarkably powerful for students to produce results. I delight in team-teaching as well, both with other teachers and administrators. I'm committed to 'selfless service' as teacher. Since my days as a graduate student, I love to learn, as both student and teacher. As teacher, I've taught Humanities at the Junior College level, teaching Fine Arts, Music, English literature and Philosophy.
