"When my students graduate, they are ready to walk into a job. They have the skills they need to be successful, including character and necessary academics. I establish a relationship with each one of my students so they know what I teach them is valuable because they are valuable to me."
"My students and I work through problems together. I allow them to bring proposals to me on how they will address a problem and we choose together. Through problem-solving, discussion, and teamwork, we address the problem together."
