What is your philosophy of education and teaching?

I believe that a teacher must model the morals, and behavior that they would encourage in their students. As a teacher, I will be a model for my class on how an authority figure should behave. If I demand respect from them, I had better show respect to my students, their parents, my co-workers, and others in authority. If I want them to learn love for their fellow man, I need to show love for others. As a Lutheran educator, I expect that my faith will be reflected in every subject that I teach. Finally, if I want my students to take their education seriously, I must show how much I value learning.

What are your thoughts on St. John Lutheran School?

Although this is my first year at St. John, I have already been made to feel like a member of the St. John Lutheran School Family. I am a small-town girl at heart, and am already feeling at home in Berlin, WI. I have been invited to choir and music in addition to my other teaching responsibilities, and this will be a wonderful opportunity for personal growth.
