TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Students are the core of my practice, and building relationships is the foundation of what I do as an educator. My classroom
will be a place where every student will know they are deeply cared for and that they belong. They will recognize that I see their
strengths and support them in their willingness to take risks. This inclusive atmosphere will create a shared desire to learn by
engaging students with content and lesson materials in a collaborative and interactive way. Discussion and active participation
are essential to my teaching method, as I believe that fostering curiosity is the first step to learning. I aim to bring an open
mind, positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom each day, and together with my students I believe we can create
a special and successful learning experience for all.
