"The first objective of any act of learning, over and beyond the pleasure it may give, is that it should serve us in the future. Learning should not only take us somewhere; it should allow us later to go further more easily."
--Jerome Bruner
I have created a classroom environment where students can monitor their own learning, remain self-motivated, and take responsibility for their own education. The students in my classroom actively take part in their learning experiences. I design my lessons using our Core Content Curriculum to enable students to meet the expectations while building their self-efficacy. I teach my students that effort equals success!
This is my twelfth year at Burnside Elementary. I am proud to be affiliated with a school that demonstrates to parents and the community that learning is taking place. The family atmosphere makes me and my students feel right at home. Stay tuned for the exciting things we are doing at our school and in our classroom!!
