Educational philosophy:

"The mind of the prudent is ever getting knowledge, and the ear of the wise is ever seeking knowledge." Proverbs 18:15

In order to measure a student's success, there must be academic standards that students are held accountable for meeting.  Therefore, students must be nurtured with a complete plan of success to include academic standards, classroom standards, behavioral standards, care, and a readiness to succeed.  I find it my duty as an educator to encourage students and to assist students with bringing that plan to fruition.  "Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes and you will be satisfied with bread."  Proverbs 20:4
