Magnet Middle School "Unless someone
like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going
to get better. It's not." Dr. Seuss. Working
as a reading teacher at the 8th-grade level, I
know that if my students leave my class without
being able to read and reason competently, their
chances for completing high school and competing
in today's marketplace are slim. I must find ways
to motivate and teach my students, and I'm eager
for the help I expect to find as I engage in this
program.

During my years in the urban schools
I have noticed that one of the biggest problems
is the teacher turn-over rate. I think it is essential
that we be able to control this problem and become
more consistent in the classroom. I feel through
the Urban Specialist program and Project Grad
we are beginning to make progress.

High School I find that understanding differences
in each learner helps me as a teacher. I can focus
on each child's strength and use that as our starting
point towards effective learning. I look forward
to finding out more about building this relationship
to enhance learning during the Urban Specialist
program.

West
High School I truly believe that teaching
is a calling that only a select few are suited
for. An effective teacher must first be compassionate
and then passionate. If you are both of these
things, and continue to honor your craft, you
will have the privilege of touching thousands
of lives. This is a calling that I am proud to
be responding to. Long live the teachers of the
world and God bless them for being in the classrooms!

Moore Greene MTA The following quote by Mahatma
Gandhi expresses my thoughts of the importance
and impact of growth and change: "As human
beings, our greatness lies not so much in being
able to remake the world- that is the myth of
the atomic age- as in being able to remake ouselves."

I believe that every child should have the opportunity
to succeed. As a teacher my job is to provide
the opportunities that allow for success both
inside the classroom and outside the classroom.
In meeting this challenge, the diverse needs of
students must not only be recognized but also
embraced.
