My Educational Philosophy

I believe that the best learning occurs when students are excited about and engaged in what is to be presented. In order to be successful, it helps when students feel valued and understood. I do my best to make the classroom a fun, warm, and interesting place, where students can feel safe and comfortable expressing their opinions and being the best versions of themselves. The school experience goes beyond the mere transfer of information; it also includes learning to respect oneself and others, as well as becoming accustomed to being flexible and trying new things.My goal is for students to be excited to come to school each day, as well as to take pride in their work, be dedicated to consistently doing their best, and always look for ways to improve themselves in all areas.
