My mission as a teacher is to infuse in each of my students a passion for science, learning, and self.  Each day in the classroom will be a voyage into the discovery of scientific concepts that will entice and leave students yearning to return in order to attain more knowledge.  I will always regard each student with dignity, compassion, and consideration.  When students depart from my class they will feel better about themselves as a person and a learner.  They each will know I care about them and I believe that they can prosper in all they undertake.
