It is my belief that every student has the potential to be successful, and that every student has the ability to excel at something. In my opinion, it is the teacher's responsibility to help students figure out where their gifts lie, and how they can best unlock their full potential. All students learn differently. Students have differing interests, strengths and weaknesses. I also believe that a teacher often times has the power to make or break a student. It is my desire to be the teacher that helps her students discover their strengths, figure out how they can learn the best, and helps her students to develop a passion for learning.
I love Business!! I think that the skills taught in Career & Technology Education courses are invaluable to all students. Keyboarding, word processing, basic spreadsheet skills, and basic search skills for the internet are activities that all students will use in the future. These skills will assist students who go to college in their report-writing assignments, research projects, and in compiling and organizing data. These skills are also invaluable to students who enter the workforce right after high school. Computer skills can be the determining factor between a student getting a minimum-wage job in fast food, or getting a higher-paying job in a doctor or lawyer's office. Other skills taught in Career & Technology Education will be useful to students throughout their whole life, such as balancing a check book, speaking in front of a group, and writing a professional-looking letter.
I wish that all students would be required to take at least one basic Career & Technology Education course before graduation!
