Hello and
welcome to Mrs. Coxon's Web Page. I have had the pleasure to
know her over these last four years that I have attended Creative
Technologies Academy. I have come to realize how fun she
is. Though she
is not a teacher, I feel we all can still learn something
from her. Last year I had then great honor of being her
photographer for a project in Digital Photography. Now
this year, I have the great privilege of being her Webmaster.
The following is her response to a series of questions in which
I asked...

Question #1:
What is
the most fulfilling experience while working with youth at CTA? |
|
Answer:
Since I've been a part of CTA from its very beginning, I've been
privileged to see some of the results of the investment our
teachers, administrators and staff have made in the lives of
students here at CTA. I am thrilled when former students stop
in to visit and report that they have become successful
citizens, and there have been many. That makes everything we do
here at CTA worthwhile! |
|
Question #2:
What word would you use to describe yourself? |
|
Answer:
Committed
- I am committed to do my best to help CTA be the best we can
be! |
|
Question #3: What
interests you outside of school? |
|
Answer:
I
love spending time with my four grandchildren, singing in my
church choir, biking on the White Pine Trail, traveling, reading
and working on my house. The good thing is, my husband enjoys
these things too, so we do them together! |
|
Question #4:
What areas at CTA do you feel need improvement?
|
 |
|
Answer:
Although we showed huge gains in test scores this last year, I
want to see even more improvement. The School Improvement
Committee is working on this by analyzing data, strengthening
the curriculum, and providing excellent opportunities for staff
professional development. |
|
Question #5: How
have the youth affected you? |
|
Answer:
I've shared in the joys and
sorrows of many young people through the years. I've tried to
encourage each one to realize that no matter what their
circumstances might be, they have a choice as to which path they
take. I rejoice when they choose to develop character and use
their gifts to serve others. |
|
Question #6:
How
long will you work at CTA? |
|
Answer:
I'm
not ready to retire yet! I still enjoy coming to school every
day and I'm excited about all the good things that are happening
here! |
|
Question #7:
What are the
qualities most needed to be an effective educator? |
|
Answer :
While
it's obvious that educators must know their subject area, it
takes more than certification to be an effective teacher. To
truly educate, teachers must have a passion and calling to help
children and young people, something that drives them to find a
way to connect with each student. I believe teachers send on a
small part of themselves with each student; it is both an
awesome and wonderful responsibility. |
