OBJECTIVE

Seeking a position as an elementary teacher where I can create a child-centered environment.  Also, create a place that is safe for children in an insecure world so that they may express themselves without fear of rejection or negativity.  I plan to make my classroom free of prejudice and unfairness, and one that cultivates creativity and imagination in each and every student and in myself.
