I hold high expectations for myself and my students
both inside and outside the classroom. Norms at
Troy high school include academic integrity, honesty,
and dedication. As a teacher I hold academic and
professional integrity by continuing my education
and attending professional development workshops
that can improve my teaching and overall
understanding of the school culture. I maintain
professionalism within the classroom by addressing
racism, sexism, and bigotry and I hold students
accountable for their actions. I hold myself
accountable for any mistakes or wrongdoings and I
address my own personal bias. I continue to grow as
an educator by collaborating with my peers and
furthering my understanding of the school culture.
