I am the type of person who feels ethically responsible for my students,
their learning, and their success. Because of this, I am able to maintain a
non-hostile classroom that fosters an environment of encouragement,
kindness, and positivity. Additionally, I will do everything in my power to
protect my students from harm and will report suspected cases of child
abuse and neglect. I will do everything I can to be a good role model for
my students and will continue to be my best self for them.
At the start of the school year, I am committed to improving on supporting
my students and providing the best learning environment I can. I plan to
implement behavioral supports to maintain a safe and welcoming
classroom. I will continue to be the best I can be in my classroom to
provide a good role model for my students and I will report anything that
indicates abuse, neglect, etc. 8.6.22
