"I believe that students should always be given the opportunities and experiences to meet their full potential, both academically and socially. The most important thing I can do as a teacher is to create a positive classroom environment for students focused on the 4C's: always incorporating creativity, communication, collaboration and critical thinking into lessons and student experiences.”
