Mrs. Ogren’s Mission Statement
To encourages my students to be lifelong learners I
need to be a lifelong learner. So Through my masters program I have
created a mission statement helps me stay focused on my goals as a
teacher.
Mission Statement
My mission is
to provide a positive learning environment that encourages risk taking
and exploration. Students are active learners who need meaningful
experiences to expand their learning interests; therefore, I provide
learning activities that include problem-solving techniques where
knowledge is gained through an inquiry-based method. In my classroom
students are given the opportunity to use cooperative group tasks to
develop positive peer interactions. Students have my respect as
individuals and I adapt my classroom to meet their unique needs.
