I
graduated from Ohio State University in 1997 with a
Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary education for
grades 1-8. I continued my education at Ohio State and
received my Masters of Education in 1998. I always wanted
to be a teacher because a teacher can be a student for
the rest of their life. I am a non-traditional student. I
returned to college to get my degree in teaching after my
two children were old enough to be on their own. My son
and I attended classes on the same campus at the same
time. This was a unique experience.
As an
educator, I feel it is important to motivate a student to
develop a sense of identity to everything he/she may
learn. I see myself as the facilitator for a student
learning and a team leader for the values and goals set
before each student. I expect students to demonstrate
respect to themselves and their peers. This will foster a
positive learning environment conducive for all
diversities within the classroom.
