ABOUT ME

My Teaching Philosophy

My educational teaching philosophy is based upon building strong, trusting and meaningful relationships with students as well as staff. All students should feel safe and welcomed in my classroom. I believe that being a great educator is being able to learn and draw from your own life experiences to enhance your lessons and professional relationships with students. As a teacher I want to be able to provide differentiated instruction to my students; for those who need a challenge or for those who need additional supports. I plan on incorporating a variety of teaching and learning styles to reach my students and help them to succeed.
