Position:

Needs:
I am in great need of computers. We use macs here. I have some old macs that are definitely on their way out and are not reliable at all. If I could get eight computers, my classes would be so much more efficient.
My Philosophy:
I believe that every student has the ability to learn. I also believe that every student is teachable. Given the right enthusiasm and the appropriate motivation, any student can achieve his/her highest level of achievement.
