 * I Believe**

1) I believe that we need to ensure that students have the foundational math and reading skills they need to be successful later on.

2) I believe that we need to give students a purpose for learning and show them examples in a meaningful context.

3) I believe that students' strengths should be emphasized and valued; we should not just point out areas of weakness.

4) I believe that students should be taught accountability and have a sense of responsibility for their own learning early on.

5) I believe that teachers should always do what is right for their students, even if it makes their job more difficult.

6) I believe that teachers should always continue to learn. The world is constantly changing and teachers need to set an example for their students that there is always more to learn.
