According to the North Carolina Professional Teaching Standards, teachers are expected to know the way students learn, make lesson plans accordingly, vary their teaching strategies, integrate the material, develop critical thinking, encourage students to work well together and communicate, and assess students effectively.  I will use a variety of methods to help students become engaged in what they are learning.   Technology will also be a very prevalent in my classroom as I use multimedia resources such as the internet, SmartBoard, PowerPoint, and video to help students become better citizens by encouraging creativity, engaging students in global awareness, and preparing them for the technology-based future.

Please feel free to view a few of the activities and lesson plans I have designed:
