My Students

My students are an amazing group of individuals. I love each and every one of them. They are diverse, unique, caring, and they love to learn and grow in a fun and engaging way. We love to have fun while learning.

I believe in personalizing education as much as possible for my students because they all learn in a different way.

I believe all students deserve the best education I can offer them.

All of the students at our school receive free lunch.

My Project

I am requesting the opportunity to attend a professional development conference that inspires and uplifts teachers. This conference will allow me to gain new strategies for teaching that I can implement in my classroom right away. I am confident that the knowledge I will gain from this conference will help me to become an even more effective teacher. I am a passionate teacher and love any opportunity to perfect my craft.

The knowledge I will attain from this experience will benefit my students for years to come.

To be an effective teacher you need to constantly learn new ways to keep your students engaged in their learning.
