Teaching Philosophy: I believe that teaching is an experience in which growth is key. As the world grows and changes, education must accommodate and meet the needs of students. I believe in teaching with the whole child in mind. Having a strong relationship with students is important to helping them be successful in the classroom. Teachers have a responsibility to make students feel safe and secure in the classroom. I believe students need skill sets that allow them to work through their emotions. I believe students should be given opportunities to make their own choices and vocalize their wants and needs. I believe teachers have a responsibility to teach students how to be good digital citizens. I believe that it is my personal responsibility to love and care for every student that I teach. I want my students to know they are important, valued, and supported. I believe I can be a strong role model in their life. I have the opportunity as a teacher to grow young minds and hearts.
