development opportunities and working to
obtain additional teaching qualifications.
“As a teacher, I feel an obligation to be a
learner. I’m impressed and grateful for the
school’s commitment to professional develop-
ment. It reinvigorates my practice as it allows
my own teaching philosophy to continue to
evolve,” she says. “The professional development
opportunities available at Havergal are a reflec-
tion of the importance the school places on
personal growth and development. A school’s
strategic plan can only be realized through
valuing and empowering its faculty and staff.
For me, that’s what efficacy and capability are
all about.”
