• I will provide a learning environment where students feel comfortable to share thoughts, ideas, and connections.
• I will differentiate to meet the individual needs of my students.
• I will encourage students to become an accountable part of their education, to become self regulated, responsible learners.
• I will push students to become productive thinkers.
• I will communicate with parents. If there is a concern or a praise, whether it be academic or behavioral, I will share it.
