Personal/Professional Vision Statement

  • Committed to developing quality educators who will be leaders in the schools of tomorrow.
  • Prepare teachers to impart the teachings of Jesus through their living, talking, and walking with God in their schools and communities.
  • Teach the graduates and undergraduates the joy of helping even the marginalized students in their classrooms because all students are made in the image of the Lord and all students are precious in His sight.
  • Empower the candidates I teach with the knowledge that education is a necessity in the world we live in, and as teachers they carry the weight of making optimum use of the precious time afforded them to teach their very best each and every day.
