My Educational Philosophy

I believe every student is different, and each student is made up of qualities unique to himself or herself. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and I am passionate about tapping into and focusing on individual strengths. I believe that it is my job to provide a safe learning environment where children are free to take risks, and it is okay to make mistakes. Making mistakes is how people learn. I try to teach perseverance and grit throughout the challenges of learning, and I encourage my students through positive discipline and engaging lessons. I require all of my students to try, and I expect them to try their best.
