In furthering my education and professional experience I have found that more diverse environments increase all students’ level of critical thinking, raise levels of their knowledge and awareness, challenge assumptions, and raise levels of their contact connections and communications. I choose to teach these life lessons through physical activities.

 

I believe that schools should be a place for students and teachers to feel free to just be “Just Be”. “Just Be” to me means allowing YOURSELF to be human. And learning to give other respect in their space and others giving your respect in yours.

 

School culture is defined as the beliefs, perceptions, relationships, attitudes, and written and unwritten rules that shape and influence every aspect of how a school functions. Furthermore, it  encompasses more concrete issues such as the physical and emotional safety of students, the orderliness of classrooms and public spaces, or the degree to which a school embraces and celebrates racial, ethnic, linguistic, or cultural diversity.

 

I look forward to being your Classroom Culture Specialist, Go Pups!
