Educational Philosophy

I BELIEVE....

• I believe that all students have the right to an education, and I believe it is my job to make that education meaningful. 

• I believe that literacy is one of the foundations of education, and that it must be integrated into every subject. 

• I believe that students thrive during cooperative learning, and that social interaction in the classroom is necessary for student learning. 

• I believe that creating a positive classroom environment will make my students feel comfortable to share their ideas, comfortable to learn, and comfortable to make mistakes. 

• I believe that I will have a direct impact on my students as soon as they enter the classroom, I believe that if I approach them with encouragement and insight, they will respond in the same way. 

• I believe that each student is creative in their own way, and I believe that I must foster this creativity through learning activities. 

• I believe in asking students questions rather than giving them answers, so that they can create their own answers. 

• I believe in acknowledging the differences in my students, rather than ignoring them. 

• I believe that all students enjoy to read, they just have not found their favorite book yet, I believe it is my job to help them find this book. 

• I believe that every day I walk into the classroom that I am making a difference in my students' lives. 

• I believe that everyday my students walk into the classroom, they are making a difference in my life.
