Reflecting

    I have had the opportunity to cover two full year leave replacements, fourth and third grade, respectively.  The positive responses that I received from the students, parents, administration and community energized me.  The measured growth I witnessed from the students was procured through the use of treating every person with dignity and respect.  The students then developed a confidence for questioning and a passion for learning.  I accounted this success from my desire to be “greater than the average”. 
    Most schools have a diverse population, which at times can be challenging.  However, motivation, support and recognition drive people to succeed.  I am consistent and offer opportunity to each student.  Coming from a multicultural family myself, I am excited to see that there is a strong need to celebrate other cultures in preparation for life in a global society.  It is the time we live in.  The acceptance of other cultures is a commitment we must all make to sustain a positive learning and living environment for the well being of the world.
