MISSION STATEMENT

My mission is to empower all students to become successful in this math course.  I am a teacher who believes I can teach all students math if they seriously apply themselves.  Mathematics is a demanding subject and if students give up when it is tough, they will not find success.  All students must persevere through these hard times and as a teacher I will do all that I can to help them through those times of struggle.  I understand that I have high expectations and some students will not like this, however I believe this is imperative.  As a teacher, I will never stop learning and developing new ways to reach students.  Please help me stay accountable to my mission.
