      As a 5th grade teacher, I am working to make a positive difference in the lives of the 29 students in my class and the rest of the school population. I have high expectations for my students and work to meet those expectations by using an instructional approach that includes building relationships with students and differentiating lessons to meet their needs. I care about my students and work very hard to help them feel success and achievement everyday. Parent communication is an important part of my classroom. I am leveraging the latest technology to provide frequent and meaningful communication. Show less As Dean of Students, I have had the privilege of working directly with students on maintaining high academic and behavioral goals. I have found that the best approach in creating a plan for student success involves building relationships with them, understanding their needs, and never giving up on them. It also involves regular communication with their parents and teachers. My passion is about making a difference in the lives of students. It's about helping all students realize and exceed their potential in this world. Show less
