Personal Goals

        

         "Shoot for the moon.  Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." 

- Les Brown

For my immediate future:

          I hope to find a teaching position in Central or Northern Illinois in a district that I can take pride in. I would like to find a progressive district that values innovative styles of teaching. Also, I am eager to join a district that truly supports collaboration and provides opportunities for further growth and development. I am a flexible teacher that has experienced the classroom at multiple grade levels. I have enjoyed each placement but have found that I have a knack for the older children.

         

          I wish to continue to grow professionally. I would like to obtain my master’s degree in education, with a focus on literacy or bi-lingual instruction.

 

My long term goals:

        

           I would like to continue traveling. I hope to further my studies so as to teach either science or art. I would also like to get married and begin a family. I look forward to returning to New York someday as well.
