CHANGE……. The World has changed. The JPPSS is changing. The Schools are changing and how students learn.  The students/parents have changed.   

Interesting Facts  75% of online teens use Instant Messaging (IA).  They chat with an average of 35 people per week for 3 hours total.  75% of adolescent spend 2-3 hours per day downloading or listening to music.  80% of 12-17 year olds use MySpace weekly.

Lesson Design  We must remember, “To produce superior designs, we must change the way we talk to one another. Breakthroughs come from asking new questions, not debating existing solutions.”

Today’s Methods  In today’s interconnected and technologydriven world, a learning environment can be….  Virtual  Online  Remote  In other words, it doesn’t have to be a place at all.

A Meeting of Minds  Administrative meetings will be held with a purpose in mind.  Collaborative meetings will also be held.  Focus student groups will be developed.  Communicating and Speaking a common language will be a major focus.  Coaching students that are not aligned with our beliefs at Roosevelt.  Paying Forward (designing lessons ahead with a focus in mind) or Paying Later (by guessing of last minute planning).  We must provide a superior education for all students.

FUNDING  Using funds in collaboration to get the best for our bucks.  Being very careful of how and why we are spending what we are spending.  Realizing that we are not alone in our endeavors and we can do this together.

My Philosophy          

“We all have the Power of Possibilities” All things are possible when you believe. We have the power to speak life or ill being thoughts into people lives. We have power to make others believe they can when others say they can’t. We have power to educate self and others around us. We have the power to heal and the power to hurt. Our words are Powerful tools. We have the power to live to our fullest potential regardless of obstacles and not be jealous of others that this opportunity to grow. We have the power to be part of the solution instead of the problem. We have the power to touch the lives of so many students and make them become what they were meant to be in this world. I am a firm believer that Perception Is Reality and All Things Are Possible, and we have the POWER.
