From the Paper:

"As a result of my teaching, my students will become life-long
learners, and use the learning skills I teach them in higher education and in their professional lives. Many educators and researchers note continuing education is an important element of success; nearly all professional and executive candidates engage in some level of continuing education (Olson & Smith, 2000). I believe it is through continuous education that students will grow as higher-order students and as professionals. To help students realize opportunities in continuous education outside the classroom, I intend to teach students the boundaries of an established curriculum and "extra-curricular" activities they can engage in, allowing students the ability to make choices that will promote greater success."
