Jen Liddy's Mission Statement

My Mission Statement, My Purpose:

I believe that teachers are professionals who can effectively solve problems if they are not oppressed and depressed by the overwhelming demands of educational tasks that do not propel student engagement and learning.

I am a teacher who values others’ perspectives; I focus on considering someone else’s experience and needs. I strive for student engagement, accountability, learning and growth.

I will create change by...

       forging communicative, supportive relationships with people, whether they are above or below me in the established hierarchies. I listen, ask questions, share my understanding & experiences, and ask more questions to further develop and support these relationships.

 
              empowering my students to explore their identities and stop making assumptions about  the identities of others. I will inspire them to ask questions and understand how their choices & behavior affect their outcomes.
