    Philosophy of Education

    I firmly believe that when given explicit instruction, clear concise learning goals and  proper educational  support; all students can learn.  

     

    Personal Statement

    As an educator of lifelong learners, whose future jobs have not been invented yet. I make sure that I encourage all students to stretch out and reach their full potential (SOAR) on a daily basis. True, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, as I am the mother of a teacher who teaches her students to extend their efforts, therefore expecting  success.

    “If I had a star for every reason I love my grandsons, great great grandsons and teaching I would have the whole night sky!”

     

    I look forward to working together with you to ensure the growth and development of your child/ children,
