1. I have high expectations for every child, just as I expect a lot from myself. I will do my best, and so must your child.

2. I believe that each child must accept responsibility for their actions--in the classroom, on the playground and away from school.

3. I believe that when students face real challenges they learn well. Directly involving students in mind and body helps children learn.

4. Each child learns differently. I try to match each learning style when I teach.
