I believe that being an effective educator means that I am committed to helping faculty, staff, and students use their talents to contribute to the classroom, school and community. My goal is to provide the necessary leadership so that students go beyond the curriculum, to become the new problem solvers of this generation through their creativity and critical thinking skills. As a facilitator, I will help to identify resources to support professional development that will increase student learning.
