Carol Langford Avocado Elementary 2-3 Grade Gifted Carol Langford has been a professional educator for over 20 years. Her teaching experience includes all levels from elementary school through graduate school. She has served as a peer mentor and school leader for much of her career. Ms. Langford believes that a teacher needs to be a caring, compassionate individual with a strong sense of commitment and dedication to children and education. It is most important that the individual who teaches loves to learn for learning's sake, and communicates this love to her students.
Teachers have the potential to influence the life of every child with whom they come in contact.
I have been teaching for 17 years. I enjoy working with children, and feel it's truly an honor and a service to our community to be a teacher. In addition to directing and facilitating their learning, I feel that I must also nurture, mentor and mold students to become productive citizens in our society. I am continually preparing future leaders. I have motivated my students to explore inventions by introducing the concept of flight and having them research on-line the history of flight and the inventions that preceeded our modern day air travel technology.
