Objective:
I strive to be the type of teacher that is smiling at the end of the day. In order to achieve this I have
to be a caring, passionate teacher for my students. I am consistently trying to find new, real world
ways to introduce concepts in order to make learning applicable to students lives. I am also
continually incorporating technology into lessons. I want to make each students learning
experience memorable. I am always open to trying new techniques and implementing new ways of
teaching. All you can do as a teacher is try and if it does not work out the way you hoped, reflect,
and remember it for the next time. I am a hard worker and strive for the best. I believe that the
students come first and their education should be your first priority.
