We enjoy reading, sporting events, travel, and time spent with family and friends. I believe that learning is a life long process that best takes place in a caring, nurturing environment where experiences are meaningful. Each student is unique with special gifts, talents, needs, and learning styles. In order to meet those needs, schools must offer opportunities for students to use various skills and intelligences to construct learning. Some of those opportunities should include the use of cooperative learning, social skills, simulations, manipulatives, the teaching of processes, as well as content, thematic study, critical thinking, and creative problem solving.
Every child deserves to be challenged and to be successful in their daily school experiences.
