My Educational Philosophy

I believe in two key principles-1. respect all 2. the classroom is a learning environment. Student learning is about understanding concepts, not memorizing steps. I teach how to be a successful student who takes ownership of their education by discussing how to study, how to learn in a classroom, how to take notes- basically, learning how to learn. The climate in my class reflects my belief that each student deserves an education in a positive environment; each student is someone's child and should be valued. I truly believe that you can learn and laugh.
