To pursue a professional career in technology within education.
My philosophy encompasses many goals learned through my life experiences in work and my achievements in pursuing a degree of higher learning. Teaching is about sharing those experiences with students, teachers, administrators, parents, and community members. Teaching is about educating, everyone who I meet, about real life skills, applicable skills, setting goals, reaching goals and learning how to exemplify individual needs and motivation. I believe that as we experience more we learn more and we can teach more. Everything is a lesson to be learned. I love teaching, as well as I believe you can learn from your students and others, allowing us to build upon lessons beyond just a book. Motivation and communication is a key for me to promote learning and individual needs, wants, and desires to become a better person and become educated in all aspects of the career of their choice.

My professional and personal goals continue to work well together in order, as well as my strong desire, for me to pursue my doctorate in Career and Workforce Education. Both goals are very rewarding goals in efforts to change my life, my family life, and the life of others. Prepared by Christina L. Smith January 14, 2015.
Currently, defending a thesis study for my Education Specialist in Vocational Education (ED.S) Thesis Title: Technology literacy skills needed in further education and/or work: A Delphi study of high school graduates’ Perspectives.
