Professional Goals: My goal is to utilize my education and passion for student learning to be a highly effective secondary science educator. I intend to reflect on my pedagogical approach and develop a curriculum that will lead to my students’ intellectual engagement and successful mastery of the material, instilling in them a greater understanding of the scientific world. I would also like to integrate as much technology as possible into my classroom in order to pique the students’ interest. I want to make myself a valued member of the community, and have an interest in leading after school activities or coaching sports such as Cross Country, Track, or Hockey.
