Overall, the students, parents, staff and faculty are a very positive group of people, which makes it a great place to work. I really like the teams of teachers we have, and it helps when the people you work with are also your friends. I hope that the students in the classroom see how much I enjoy learning and that they will also continue to learn. Working with students is the best part of my job. Kids never cease to amaze me with their enthusiasm and great ideas.
Kids are just fun to be around.
I like teaching the best when we are involved in a project and everybody in the room is excited about what we are doing. Fortunately our school district forms committees of teachers to work on our curriculum to make sure that we are meeting the state goals. I have worked on both the math committee and the language arts committee. Helping children understand I try to put myself in the student's position it approached problem in a variety of ways. We are all individuals, so what makes sense to one person won't always makes sense to another.
