Principal at Salisbury Elementary School

• Jul 2013 - Jul 2015

To work with staff, students, parents and other administrators to ensure the safety, well-being, and excellent education for all students at Pequea Valley Intermediate School. I wake up every day asking myself the question, "What can I do today to prove that every child matters?" I believe that every child's journey is vitally important and our purpose is to inspire them to reach their full potential by providing an encouraging but also equally challenging learning environment. We seek to provide the fundamentals of learning yet also allow students to apply these rudimentary learning skills in problem based learning opportunities. Although we have increased our student access to technology through a one to one iPad / Laptop Initiative, we also hold true that their is merit to traditional education which stresses relationships and creativity through the use of whatever means pragmatic to accomplishing our given learning tasks. Simply stated -- technology is here to serve us...We are not here to serve technology. Show less
