Teaching Philosophy

Every child can succeed when provided a safe and positive learning environment. I recognize that each child learns differently, and I strive to reach each learner in an effective and efficient manner. My mission is to prepare students to be lifelong learners and foster the ability to become responsible citizens. Through active learning and a variety of cooperative learning experiences, students will be able to further develop their skills in preparation for middle school and beyond.
