A teacher's purpose is not to create students in her own image, but to develop students who can create their own image. ~author unknown
I have taught in the River Valley School District since 1977. Even though I don't live in Three Oaks, it has become my home. I was drawn to the teaching profession because I enjoy working with children. I view teaching as a constant challenge that is seldom, if ever, boring. The realization that a teacher can introduce children to new worlds of information and open up new possibilities daily was motivation in itself for me to select teaching as a profession. What I try to do every day in class is be a good listener, to guide instruction rather than lecture, and be willing to use varied methodologies to foster learning. I also strongly believe in establishing and maintaining good communication with parents. This can foster a positive learning atmosphere in the classroom and can only enhance instruction. I am one of those teachers who believes in giving my home phone number to parents and appreciate the concerns voiced in a call from a parent. Teaching to me is not a nine to five occupation. it is a privilege and a tremendous responsibility. I believe in placing my students first during the school year and have a very supportive family who accept the fact that my teaching takes priority. I would be a fool to say that I know everything there is about teaching. I am a life-long learner and want my students to become the same as well. I do set high standards in my classroom and will not accept minimal effort from anyone including myself. If I am to expect a one hundred percent effort from my students, then it is also fair to say that my students can expect the same from their teacher. I really try to make teaching an interesting and personally rewarding experience for my students while at the same time trying to have fun with what we are doing.
