Summary

During my 21 years teaching at Lisbon, I devoted my time and attention to building a rapport with all students from very different backgrounds and circumstances. I’m confident in my ability to reach kids; not only on an academic level, but as a mentor in helping them achieve personal successes and growth in a positive way. I promote positive behavior, accountability and success by establishing open communication of my expectations with my students, parents and staff. Although I have several years of solid teaching experience, I also have a growth mindset. I’m reflective of my instruction and make adjustments when necessary to best serve the needs of my students. I’m always eager to learn and willing to improve my technique as I have always placed my students’ wellbeing and personal growth at the top of my list of priorities in my classroom.
