Teaching philosophy:
My first teaching assignment started in 1969 at Middletown High School in Middletown, New York. My assignment was as a Metal Shop and Print Shop teacher. As my experiences interacting with children increases, I have set a few goals for myself:
• To practice active listening
• To treat each student as an individual
• Accept nothing but a students personal best
• Having an atmosphere of an absence of threat
• Provide adequate class time to complete all assignments
• Provide meaningful content in all assignments.
On a personal note:
I love riding my motorcycle-a Yamaha V-Star.
I love to scuba dive, especially in warm water. Since having my son certified, I have started to enjoy cold water diving in the Monterey Bay. I will be teaching Judo as an after school club. I am a massage therapist on the weekends at a spa in the Napa Valley.
