personal mission

My mission is to motivate by providing an academic and social foundation for later success. I will provide opportunities for every student to lean and reach their highest potential. Students will reach their potential by me continuing to strive to differentiate my instruction. My demeanor as well as my classroom will be warm and inviting.
Curriculum is a tool that is used to guide educators to pre-determined outcomes or standards. I think that all stakeholders should have various levels of input in determining which curriculum to choose. Many times the curriculums are developed by peolpe who have been out of the classrooms for many years or by people who have never taught. I am kind of on the fence on who should control the curriculum. I want to say that local school district should control on the other hand I want the teachers and adminstrators to control it but there would be no consistency in the district.
