    My Educational Philosophy

    I believe each and every child has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world. My goal as an educator is to help my students grow academically, morally, and socially. By respecting the differences of each students' personality and learning style, I will enable each student to grow to become the life-long learner and active citizen needed in our society. “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” – Aristotle
