I greatly appreciate my opportunities to be an effective educator. I have met many great colleagues, been impressed with incredible quality of instruction, and marveled at the level of educators' technological sophistication. All of these experiences are an inspiration and have helped me create a vision of the type of educator I would like to be:
1. Elevation of my curriculum to the status of master teacher and beyond.
2. Intensive incorporation of technology.
3. Consistent extra-curricular involvenemt.
The following are examples of ways I incorporated this vision into past educational opportunities. If hired, I expect to continue similar contributions.
Extra-curricular involvements:
*Athletic coach
*Club sponsor
*Athletic event worker
*Dance chaperone
*Makeup school worker
*After school tutor
Short-term Future Plans for Professional Development:
*Refinement of classroom curriculum, emphasizing the incorporation of Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences and student engagement.
*Emphasis on incorporeation of technology into the curriculum.
*Emphasis on collaborative planning.
Long-term Future Plans for Professional Development:
*Masters degree in computers in education.
*Establishment of an online lesson plan collaboration site.
