The mediocre teacher tells.  The good teacher explains.  The superior teacher demonstrates.  The great teacher inspires.

~Williams Arthur Ward

It is my objective to make sure my instruction can help every child succeed.  Every student will come into my classroom with their own unique experiences and academic level.  I need to embrace the differences in my classroom and use those unique qualities to help everyone thrive and grow as students and as people.  I hope for all my students to leave my classroom with a love for learning that will continue throughout their lives.  The best way to encourage my students to be life long learners is to model my love for learning.  A teacher is a major influence on a student’s life.  We all remember the influence teachers had on our lives, and I hope my students will look back and remember a positive experience in my classroom.
