GOALS FOR MY CLASSROOM
My main goal is to guide the student on a journey through the world of social studies.
Today as our world is made smaller through technology, it is necessary perhaps
more than ever before for Americans to understand our role in the world.
As the last super power and leader of the free world our citizens must take up the
task of learning about other cultures. We must better understand those things
which make the United States great and unique among the nations of the world.
We must strive to maintain the pride, loyalty, sacrifice, work ethic, and sense of morality
that have allowed America to prosper.
When students leave my classroom they will be informed, engaged, and eager
to learn more.
They will participate, debate, and care deeply for the greatest nation
and state the world has ever known.
