Objective
No one student lives, looks, thinks, feels, experiences, or learns like any other. I want to address and celebrate
these perspectives with creative, connected, and engaging lessons that support a life-long love of learning. I will
teach with each of these considerations in mind, culminating with an assessment-driven, standards-based, rigorous
curriculum in my classroom.
