Passion/Respect/Excellence/Growth

Passion 
- I will daily research art and philosophy related content. It can be through Pinterest, Flipboard, News sites, books or Facebook groups.
- I will introduce relevant content in my planning to keep it fresh and alive. I will attempt to connect current events and real world projects in my teaching.

Respect 
- My daily teaching mantra. "Each student is a mine of gems of inestimable value. Education will help reveal the gems within."
- The emotional space of the classroom will be positive.
-  I will use the language of inclusiveness.

Excellence
- Each day I will expect the most out of myself as a teacher. I will always be on time and ready. I will be well prepared. I expect the same from my students.
- The physical space of the classroom will be open and accessible.
- Students will be trusted to maintain a clean and organized work space.

Growth
- I will mindfully address students directly with specific, authentic and positive comments.
- I will admit my mistakes and apologize when needed.
- I will continue to work on my own passion projects and share my successes and challenges with the students.
