Student success is taught by example. As an educator, I would like to create an environment in which students feel comfortable expressing their ideas, while providing a rigorous structure that forces them to push those ideas further. Good curriculum, therefore, is based on the practical application of the required competencies while being adaptable enough to also allow students to think and grow as individuals. I go to work each day hoping to push one student to do something they find frightening or uncomfortable so that they can survive, become enriched by it and realize their potential.
