The vision of Henry County…

People Purpose Passion Possibilities

I bring an understanding of all of these elements with me every day.

People

Without good people working with you and for you, a school cannot succeed.

I have outstanding people skills as represented in my work as a – Grade Level Chairperson

– Differentiation of Instruction Lead Teacher

– School Improvement Committee Chair

– Social Committee Chair

– National Education Association Building Representative

Purpose

It has been said that where there is no vision, the people perish.

I set a strong purpose for myself be striving to:– Model an example of a lifelong learner to my students

and colleagues

– Teach my students to desire knowledge

– Encourage my students and coworkers to push themselves to new heights

– Treat every child as one of my own and grow in them a desire to be the best they can be

Passion

Passion has been defined as a powerful or compelling desire to accomplish a goal

I show my passion in my work, as I am always trying to better myself through:– Bachelor’s Degree from Averett University

– Master’s Degree from Radford University

– Working on National Board Certification

– Outstanding test scores (for myself and my students)

– Participation in Henry County’s DI Initiative

Possibilities

When people, purpose, and passion come together, the possibilities are endless.

I am a strong leader who can facilitate these given factors in the creation of an amazing school, where no possibility is impossible.

My personal vision statement: I believe that every child, who is nurtured, cared

for, and given high expectations; who is taught with passion for the subject; and who is made to see that learning is a lifelong process, can reach and surpass any expectations that they are given.

I believe adults who are led in a fair, nonjudgmental way; who are given the opportunity to participate in shared decision making; and who are passionate about their craft, create in themselves and their students outstanding citizens and lifelong learners.
