My philosophy of education is that all students are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I aim to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom each day. I believe that I owe it to my students, as well as the community, to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job in the hope that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in the children as well." I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks. The students will feel empowered and have an “I CAN DO IT” attitude.
My classroom has its own unique community; my role as the instructor acts as a guide and assists each student in developing their own potential and learning styles. I will present a curriculum that will incorporate each different learning style, as well as make the content relevant to the fire service (community). I will incorporate hands-on learning, cooperative learning, projects, themes, and individual work that engage and activate students' learning. My goal is for each student to be prepared, confident, and ready to enter the Fire Service.
