    My Educational Philosophy

    Every student has untapped potential that can help them understand their goals and dreams. In our classroom, we work to uncover a student’s strengths and passions and seek growth opportunities. I seek to teach curriculum in engaging and innovative ways that challenges each student. We embrace hands-on activities, collaborative opportunities and ownership of learning. At the end of the year, each student will walk out with greater value for themselves, their peers and the world around them. My goal as a teacher is to remind students daily that they are cared for and respected and that their perspective is understood and thoughtfully considered while they are in our classroom.
