Vision and Experience
Vision
My vision for education is one where students embrace the power of knowledge, creativity, and positive thinking. Developing students who take ownership in their attainment of knowledge affects us all by creating adults who never stop learning. Encouraging students to embrace their creativity allows them to express their intelligence in ways that are meaningful to them and the entire community. Coaching each student to internalize positive thinking allows them to become the architect of their own life . I am committed to developing confident lifelong learners who will create positive ways to impact their school, their community, and our world. |
