The word collage above highlights some of my strongest work related qualities. Teaching is my passion, I committed and driven to help my students become productive citizens by helping them learn about themselves and the world around them. I am a self-starter and a natural leader on the job. I enjoy taking on the challenges of new tasks and working with others to see the jobs through to the end. I am a listener who is often called upon by my students and peers to help them through any issue they might find challenging. Please explore my other e-portfolio pages to learn more about me.

=**Myers-Briggs:** ESTJ= =**The Myers-Briggs assessment is a __[|psychometric]__ questionnaire designed to measure [|psychological] preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. Here's what a few people say about my personality type.**= //"ESTJs are hardworking traditionalists, eager to take charge in organizing projects and people. Orderly, rule-abiding, and conscientious, ESTJs like to get things done, and tend to go about projects in a systematic, methodical way. They respect tradition and authority, and expect others to do the same. For the ESTJ, the proof is in the past: what has worked and what has been done before. They look for existing rules to follow and established standards to meet. ESTJs value factual evidence over conjecture, and trust their personal experience//". (The Learning Center Personality Desk)

//"Assertive, practical, rational, loyal, opinionated and decisive, the ESTJ is an organized, take-charge person who brings others into line by assigning tasks and roles, giving clear-cut instructions, following up regularly to check progress and giving formal recognition to those who do as they've been told. The ESTJ usually prefers to enforce existing policies, rather than to innovate, revise or otherwise introduce unnecessary change into any system. In business, education, administration, law enforcement or the military, this type is evident as the outgoing, no-nonsense leader, gratified by the precision of smoothly functioning organizations and the power and control that come with being in charge".// (The Guardian)

"//ESTJs promote the work ethic. Power, position and prestige should be worked for and earned. Laziness is rarely viewed with ambivalence nor benevolence by this type.// //The ESTJ is outspoken, a person of principles, which are readily expressed. The ESTJ is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right even in the face of overwhelming odds. ESTJs are able to make the tough calls//". (Typelogic)


 * // ESTJs are known as Supervisors. //****  “  **Supervisors are highly social and community-minded, with many rising to positions of responsibility in their school, church, industry, or civic groups. Supervisors are generous with their time and energy, and very often belong to a variety of service clubs, lodges, and associations, supporting them through steady attendance, but also taking an outspoken leadership role. Supervisors like to take charge of groups and are comfortable issuing orders. They are cooperative with their own superiors, and they would like cooperation from the people working under them. Rank, they believe, has its obligations, but it also has its privileges".  (Keirsey Temperament Website)
