Final Project Summary Statement
What are my core personal values, those virtues and elements of character that make me who I am?
Empathy
Compassion
Respect
Curiosity
Resourceful
Positive
Accountable
What are my personal strengths as a moral model? More specifically, what moral awareness, feeling or action do I bring to the classroom or workplace? My home?
I have worked in many different teaching circumstances, traveling schools, private institutions, for adults and children, and have worked for both welfare children and the high society elite. I believe this broad experience base has enabled me to bring a high level of moral sensitivity into all areas of my life. Professionally, I strive to model a strong work ethic; perseverance and strength of will and be empathetic to my student’s circumstances. I strongly believe that where there is a will there is a way. Where others would say I am overemotional at times (I won’t hesitate to tell people, “Watch out I am a crier”) I would say I am passionate about all I do, both personally and professionally and that passion shines through.
Who am I as a future role model or educational leader?
Assertive
Visionary
Leader by Example
Inspirer & Encourager
Excellent Crisis Manager – remaining calm under extreme pressures
Finally end your statement by addressing the future. You are still ad interim (in process), you will always develop, so look to the future: What’s next? Now that you know about character, moral and values, what skills might still remain to be refined or added, what might you want to explore more in the arena of moral leadership?
Even though I have a knack at classroom management, I would like to take that beyond the classroom and help improve the relationship between my students and rest of the community. As I work with adults I feel that it is important to see the direct connection of character, values and morals and how having a positive attitude and hard work ethic will be rewarded in small and large ways if you have ‘stick-to-it-ness’. I would like to embed more character education into my daily lesson plan, finding new and better ways to teach my students and learn from them as well as achieving my master's degree.
