My Teaching Philosophy

I firmly believe that each student should feel safe and welcome in the classroom. I set up a warm, friendly, inviting environment to make the students feel cared for and accepted no matter who they are. I also show each of my students the same respect that I want for myself. I respect them as individuals and value them for who they are. In return, my students respect me. I also value fairness in my classroom. Each student is to be treated equally and I show absolutely no favoritism. Every single student feels equal to their classmates and they know that I care for them all equally. Even if I had a big problem with one of the students or their parents, I would never make them feel as if they were not cared for. My classroom is a team. We all work together and each student is a part of the team and valued individually. If one student is not putting forth effort, our team is broken. I embrace each students creativity. I take each of my student’s ideas and combine them into one great idea. I let them get as creative as they want in order for them to feel valued in my classroom. As an educator, my number one goal is to make an impact on the lives of my students and help them be the best person they can be.
