Personal Professional Mission Statement 

Educating students is my passion.  I desire not only to prepare my students for the next grade level but also to help prepare them to be active learners in the 21st century.  I will continually strive not only to be a leader in my classroom, but also in my school.  Demonstrating leadership will enhance the manner in which I educate my students.

To achieve the level of leadership required to meet the needs of all my students and prepare them for 21st century learning, I must set goals for myself and assist my students in setting goals for myself (Goals include incorporating student use of technology daily, using various types of assessments, and incorporating cultural diversity in my class).  I must work collaboratively with other teachers, share ideas and push myself to think outside the box.  I WILL NOT be afraid to pioneer new initiatives set forth by the county board of education and share the results with teachers and administrators.
