In my own words...

I have been proudly serving as J.L. Mann's Curriculum Resource Teacher (CRT) since January 2010. I am excited to devote myself to a role which supports teachers, working toward school and student success, and fostering an enthusiasm for education.

 To be an effective teacher, you must enter school with an OPEN MIND, and a POSITIVE ATTITUDE

And remember...

Go light on your fellow student, and show patience.
Assume your fellow student has good intentions.
Don't try to deceive your fellow students, don't be ambiguous or obscure when discussing.
Allow others to play Devil's advocate.
Take a joke, but don't insult anyone.
Treat the classroom as a confidential situation, and don't gossip.
Listen to others when they speak, pay attention to them, and hope they'll do the same for you.
Allow others to decline comment.
Speak in the first person; recognize that your opinions are your own and that you don't speak for others.
Try to be accurate and try to defend any of the claims you make.

Find respect for your natural surroundings. Recycle - Hug a tree - Be thankful for the air you breathe and the clean water you drink. Learn in this class to respect Mother Nature as much as you respect your own Mother – Both are giving and full of forgiveness. She may let you get away with littering once – but never again!
