What are you passionate about with regard to learning and why?
A passion for both learning and teaching was instilled in me at a young age. I grew up with both of my parents as teachers who loved their jobs and made a lasting difference in the lives of their students daily. Watching both my Mom and Dad pour their hearts into the lives of their students showed me that teaching is more than a profession, it is a calling. This instilled in me a love for learning along with my love for teaching. I believe that in order to have a passion for teaching, one must also have a passion for learning. This is because, as teachers, we are constantly learning and adapting our teaching methods to reach all students in the most effective way possible. This includes ways to improve one's teaching in order to become more effective through continued education. I am also passionate about learning more about each student individually, and applying this knowledge to my teaching style in order to change and adapt them to best meet the needs of each student individually. This includes growing in the areas of, creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, character, global citizenship, and communication. Continuing to learn more about these "6 Cs" will help me to best prepare my students for college and career readiness. Continually pursuing learning opportunities as a teacher reignites a passion for learning.
