“Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.”      - John F. Kennedy

I believe that a strong education is the key to success in any child's life.

Diversity, Resiliency, and Reflection are important components to education.

I believe that every child should be treated with both equality and equity in any classroom setting.

In my future teaching career it is my goal to impact the lives of as many children as possible.

The Standards of Effective Practice are included in this portfolio because they are the key components to becoming a successful teacher.  To obtain a teaching license every standard must be complete with verification.

This portfolio was created to provide personal and professional information about me.  Reflection is the key to this portfolio because it is essential when becoming a teacher.
