EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
I believe that each child is an individual who needs a secure, caring, and loving environment in which to grow and learn emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially.
It is my desire as a teacher to help students meet their fullest potential by providing an environment that is safe and supports learning.
The teacher’s role is to guide and provide access to information. Curriculum should be developed around student interests that motives and stimulates them to learn. Teaching provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth.
