HEATHER A.
HILGENDORF
Profile
It is my belief that all children can learn and my intention as a teacher is to create an
environment where learning is viewed as not only an exciting venture, but an attainable
goal. In understanding that all children differ in their progress achievement in education, I
also understand that each child will have different milestones that can be celebrated and
praised. The feeling of achievement and success, no matter how small it seems, is
addictive and contagious. My goal as a teacher is to inspire, encourage, and promote
learning for all students and make personal connections with their experiences in order to
motivate them further.
