MISSION STATEMENT

The following mission statement was written during my student teaching internship in 2003.  Since that time, I've referenced these words to guide my practice as a teacher...

My mission is to establish high academic expectations and self-motivated students who use independent, critical thinking, and problem solving skills to meet these learning goals. I will help each of my students develop the skills and tools they will need to become successful, responsible, and productive members of our society.  I will encourage a love of learning and enthusiasm for all topics, in particular, an appreciation for social studies and its relevance in our lives.

My mission is to be a positive role model and live my life according to the characteristics I am trying to foster in my students.  Through my interactions with others I will encourage students to be respectful, responsible, and accountable for their actions.  I will be enthusiastic about teaching and learning and will take a genuine interest in the lives and experiences of my students.

My mission is to stay positive and not let the negative attitudes of some students, parents, and colleagues alter my attitude or practices in my profession.  I will, above all else, take the time to reflect upon this mission in order to provide the best quality educational experience for each of my students.
