my educational Philosophy
education should be an individual, unique experience for every student who enters my classroom. It is my responsibility to get to know my students individually so that I can tailor my lessons to best fit their needs. I strive to bring enthusiasm and creativity to my classroom in order to develop a love of learning and to create lifelong learners. My aim is to engage all students in active learning through whole group and small group instruction, one-on-one learning and center-based learning experiences.
I believe that it is my job to establish a classroom community where all students feel valued and are able to express themselves in their own unique ways. I strive to provide a positive classroom environment where students are praised for following expectations and for being responsible learners. I set high expectations for all of my students and instill that with hard work and perseverance, anything is possible.
It is my desire as a teacher to share my passion and love for learning through lessons, in and out of the classroom. I encourage my students to think outside the box and follow their natural curiosity. I encourage students to take risks and share ideas. I want students to know that learning is not a one way street and they can educate me as much as I educate them.
I try to use anything hands on that I think will help with learning, too, including technology. I integrate technology into my lessons to help students appreciate technology, and all the positive that it brings into our lives.
