Something important to me...

A very significant part of my teaching is centered around balance in the classroom. Mutual respect, listening and sharing, and trying not to dominate the lessons are all things that I actively try to implement in my teaching. I came across Ikigai a while back and it's been something that's been very important to me ever since. Ikigai is not someting I do, but it's something that allows me to have success in what I do. 

I hope to give my students an opportunity to find a reason for "being" - weather it's being a good student or being a better person - in order to help guide them down their own sucessful paths in life.
