Career Objective & Teaching Ethos
My career objective is to be a valued member of a productive team, working to make a
difference academically and personally in students’ lives. I believe each child has a unique
learning style, and require teaching programs that incorporate an array of teaching styles to
meet their physical, social, emotional, ethical and spiritual needs. I aim to provide a
classroom climate that values student direction, social support, academic engagement,
explicit quality performance criteria and self-regulation.
