Urban SEALS Doctoral Student

I believe it is every teacher's responsibility to personify academic excellence and exemplify faith in student achievement.   I believe each teacher is responsible for their student's perception of their particular subject matter.  As such, an effective teacher strives to impact student expectations, self-efficacy and achievement in a positive way, through the creative delivery of their subject matter and the impartation of empowerment.  The excellent teacher is always evolving and challenging themselves to be a better educator and better human being and, in doing so, encourages everyone in their circle of influence to accomplish more.
