Statement of Purpose
Through my work, I want to facilitate and create educational environments where students are active participants in their learning. I want to continue to design learning opportunities that are meaningful to my students the next day, the next month and 10 years from now. To make this sort of impact, I know it is up to me to continue to build upon my craft as a leader and educator. With every new class or group of students there is great diversity in their knowledge and experiences. For a teacher, this can be a challenge. With every new student I encounter, I want to continue to reflect and think about the best way I can support this student to be successful with the task at hand. I strive to motivate and build relationships based on trust. As I continue to explore new ways of reaching my students, I can only broaden my craft for teaching.
I believe that it “Takes a village to raise a child”. Because of this belief, I realize the importance of a team effort in educational communities. In my current position at the Chula Vista Public Library I am working with a diverse group of colleagues. From librarians to former teachers to volunteers, we are working on creating educational programs for the Chula Vista Community. The success of the programing is directly related to our communication. I am striving to continue to keep open communication by sharing as many of my past experiences, as well as learning from theirs. As a leader in this group, I am working to share as many ideas and options in programming and remaining open to input and suggestions to create the best relevant programming for our “village”.
