PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT: One of my primary purposes is to help shape children’s lives, giving them a sense of direction. This direction leads them to productive lives within society. In the classroom, I like to use instructional methods that relate the material to real-life experiences with which the students may some day be confronted. I love teaching history as learning about the past prepares us for the present and the future.
