I maintain high standards of personal and
professional integrity for myself and my classroom.
Punctuality is key, ensuring I have ample time to set
up and prepare my classes efficiently. I strive to
provide feedback that is constructive and create
opportunities for growth for myself, students, and

I help to contribute to my professional community by
participating in school wide professional
development, as well as bringing new opportunities
for professional development to my admin.
I contribute to the positivity of my school’s culture by
encouraging open communication between staff,
students, parents, and our community. Following
school policies and procedures is the number one
way to foster positivity and inclusivity on campus and
garner trust between staff, students, and parents.
