The following is a list of goals that I have set for myself this year. I will make every effort to live up to these goals: 1) I will greet students each morning with a smile, and will be generous with my smiles throughout the day. 2) I will look for opportunities to reward and praise students for their work and good behavior. 3) I will not show favoritism, and will try to be fair to all. 4) I will use fair and appropriate methods of discipline. 5) I will try to make classroom instruction as interesting as possible and look for new and diverse ways of presenting materials. 6) I will maintain a positive atmosphere for learning. 7) I will treat my students with respect and will not embarrass them in front of their classmates. 8) I will make myself available and approachable to students. 9) I will recognize the individuality of my students and will provide opportunities for each of them to experience success. I pledge to work forward making this a very successful year for us all. I enjoy being around with people, swiming, reading and lecturing.
