Teaching Philosophy / Personal Statement I just want to see students be successful. When I was a student here at Sandburg, the faculty here changed my life. I not only gained knowledge, but I also gained confidence in myself. Effective teachers help students gain confidence as well as knowledge. One of the goals I have always wanted to achieve here at Sandburg has been to be considered an effective teacher.
