Educational Philosophy:

A teacher is a collaborative team consisting of parents, students, colleagues, and educators. I believe a classroom is a place where learning occurs in the teacher, students, and parents. When it comes to learning I believe that the teacher is a facilitator that leads lessons and engages students interest in lessons. I believe that children all have the desire to learn and succeed. All children need encouragement and support from teachers in order to reach their highest potential. Teaching is something that intrigues, satisfies, and enhances me. Children have a natural inquisition for learning and I have a natural desire to teach them.
