“What really frightens and dismays us is not external events themselves, but the way in which we think about them. It is not things that disturb us, but our interpretation of their significance.”

JOHN STEINBECK’s THOUGHTS on TEACHING
“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist ---and it might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
“My three [real teachers] had these things in common:
-They all loved what they were doing.
-They did not tell—they catalyzed a burning desire to know.
-Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. But most important of all, the truth, that dangerous stuff, became beautiful and very precious.”
“I shall speak only of my first teacher because, in addition to other things, she brought discovery.”
Teaching Mission Statement
Teaching Mission Statement
My goal is first and foremost to help you become a better person (kind and truthful) and secondly a thoughtful student (a critical/creative thinker who can voice their thoughts clearly, confidently, humbly, and a life long learner skilled at reading purposefully, writing rationally, and inquiring deeply)
"Like Captured Fireflies"
"Like Captured Fireflies"
By John Steinbeck
“In her class our speculation ranged the world;
She aroused us to book waving discussions.
She had the noisiest class in school
She breathed curiosity into us
so that every morning we came to her carrying new truths,
new facts,
new ideas - -
Cupped and sheltered in our hand like captured fireflies.
When she went away, a sadness came over us –
but the light did not go out.
She left her signature upon us –
the literature of the teacher who writes on children’s minds.
I’ve had many teachers who taught me soon forgotten things –
But only a few like her – Who created in me a new thing,
a new attitude,
a new hunger.
I suppose to a large extent,
I am the unsigned manuscript of that teacher.
What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person. “
