Mrs. Pessenda's Teaching Philosophy

  • All students can and will learn in an environment that fosters growth.

  • The Minnesota State Standards do matter.

  • Each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere.

  • Students will have the opportunity to mature emotionally, intellectually, and socially.

  • Students need guidance and support in achieving his or her PERSONAL best.

  • Each student learns differently and at his or her own pace, differentiation is key.

  • All students deserve respect and kindness.

  • Patience is a must.

  • Listening is equally important for students, as well as the teacher.

  • We must celebrate successes no matter how small they may seem.

  • Laughter is a good thing!

  • Teaching is an awesome responsibility!
