Quote:
"While at Sarasota Christian School I was challenged to study the teaching style of Jesus, the Master Teacher. It was then that I began to see how the use of carefully asked questions rather than answers leads students to 'aha!' discoveries or understandings. The use of stories to illustrate points is also a wonderful way to allow students to make the interpretations. My teaching style is also shaped by the time I take to nurture my relationship with Jesus Christ. What gives me excitement and purpose as I teach? The deep belief that each of us and the world we live in were created by God for His pleasure."
