The purpose of this electronic learning portfolio, as stated to me by the MCEP Administrators.

    The purpose of my Penn STI electronic portfolio is to provide the administrators and instructors of the program an alternative means for what and how I have learned and changed as a result of my experiences throughout the Penn STI program.  This e-portfolio is a substantial piece of technological work through which I can show my increase in technological capabilities.

     I have decided to maintain the organization of my electronic portfolio by having my prospective class links at the top of each individual webpage througout my website to make the accessibility of pages much easier.  Certain pieces of my work that I decide to use to show evidence of my growth as a student, learner, and a leader will be available under the E-portfolio subheading on the left side of the E-portfolio webpages.

     I currently enjoy teaching both science and mathematics at Mastery Charter High School.  I was originally hired to teach mathematics; however, I have taught physics in the past.  During the 2006-2007 academic school year I will be teaching high school physics in addition to several math courses to students in the eleventh and twelfth grades. 

    I am an individual who is willing to do, "What ever it takes." as the Mastery saying goes to help best educate the students I come into contact with.  As an educator I expect the best my students have to produce even at times when they are ready to give up.  Challenging students at various academic levels within a single classroom is a skill I have learned after teaching for numerous years.  I very much like to explore new horizons personally and professionally to experience a change from repetition. 

    I have always been the type of individual who takes on leadership roles with the school environment.  The MCEP courses have encouraged me to continue displaying those qualities by several of the assignments and methods of teaching.
