Within this school, I have found a very diverse population. As an educator, I believe that all students have the ability to learn, and teachers need to make all students aware of their potential. To compliment this diversity, in the Family and Consumer Sciences department, we discuss aspects of different cultures. In the Advanced Foods course, the students study the different regions of the world, focusing on food preferences and preparation.
Technology is an important tool in education today.
While student teaching, I developed projects that include research on the internet, power point presentations, and scanning of material for presentations. I have great enthusiasm for teaching Family and Consumer Sciences, placing an importance on utilization of information that has been taught. My goals as an educator are for students to believe that my classroom is a place where they are receiving an education that prepares them for the career they have chosen or their life after high school, have a positive learning experience, and motivation to become life long learners.
