My teaching career is influenced by my family, students, mentors and colleagues.

My teaching philosophy is based upon six bedrock ideas a positive and respectful learning environment clear expectations, standards and goals process oriented instruction continuous assessment lifelong learning maximization of technology and instructional theory to provide the best instruction for all students.
