Every student deserves the opportunity to learn and be successful.  Creating an environment of mutual respect, challenge and development of the whole student helps to create this engaging learning environment that caters to all students.  Building relationships and developing a sense of community within your classroom and school gives the students pride and ownership of their learning and creates opportunity for each student to grow as individuals and have success in the classroom.

            My goal is to have my students enter my classroom everyday eager to participate and learn about themselves and the world around them.  By creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment I give the students the motivation as well as the tools to ensure success and engagement.
