One of Aldine ISD’s campus teachers of the year who will be honored at the [icons icon_name=”icon-external-link” icon_size=”14px”] Teacher of the Year Breakfast on March 7, 2014.

When asked about her teaching philosophy, she responded:

I believe teaching is about helping children achieve their highest potential. Variety is the spice of life; therefore, learning and accepting everyone with respect is strongly encouraged in the classroom. I take every opportunity I have to help my students learn and make everyone special in the classroom. Additionally, open minded individuals tend to become great leaders because they are constant learners who tend to improve themselves before they try to change those who surround them.
