In his own words…

“All that has contributed to the teacher I am today; thinking quickly on my feet, learning to adapt materials to meet the needs of my students, and getting the student to smile. It sounds like a recipe, and in many ways it is.”

In the words of others . . .

The students know he cares and they like being in his classroom. He establishes strong communication with his students’ parents.
