My success as a teacher comes from seeing my students be successful. When I work with students, my driving question is always, "what will the student take away from this?" I seek to expand the cultural capital of my students by exposing them to engaging and relevant content. I base my assessments in the Zone of Proximal Development model by Lev Vygotsky.
