I believe that all students are entitled to a quality education where there is equity for all. All students learn no matter what. It is important to provide an optimal learning environment where all children feel safe and ready to learn. I want my students to be prepared for any opportunity that comes their way. It is important for students to realize that life is about learning. We are all lifelong learners no matter our age.
