Personal Philosophy of Education
As an educator today it is important to encompass the qualities of proficiency, efficacy and flexibility in order to maintain a level of success when working with students from diverse backgrounds and various educational needs.  To become an agent of change teachers have to continually improve upon things within and outside the classroom to assist students, including academic enhancements, self-discovery and community involvement.
Future Professional Goals
Professionally I plan to continue in the field of education, however at the university level.  I also plan to become an agent of change through research, design and implementation of pre-referral strategies that can be used prior to referring minority children for special education. I would love to publish, and possibly become a full-time university professor.
