I plan to continue...

...students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their own. I want to help students create this sense of worth and importance within their studies and schoolwork, which I believe can ultimately lead to...

...able to help someone feel excited and confident about a subject they were originally struggling with. Sometimes people write themselves off as not math people or not readers When faced with a challenging subject, its tempting to think its beyond you.

...speed with which you can accomplish your task. Critical thinking is often underemphasized in the traditional classroom environment. When students are taught specific "tricks" to handle certain types of test questions, the significance of the methods they are learning are often lost. I have found that stressing why certain facts and concepts are important not only improves the retention of those ideas, but also gives students more confidence in applying what they have learned.... My teaching...

The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there.
