Taanishi  / Oki / Danit'ada / Aba Wathtech / Hello! Welcome to my Professional Learning Portfolio.

Reflecting on my journey fills me with excitement and anticipation for the opportunities ahead. Throughout my degree, with a minor in Elementary Health and Physical Education, I've immersed myself in diverse learning experiences, honing my skills and expanding my knowledge base.

Transitioning from student to educator, my focus remains steadfast on fostering an inclusive learning environment that cultivates safety, engagement, and academic excellence. My aspiration is to empower my future students, equipping them with not just academic knowledge but also essential emotional and social skills crucial for lifelong success. My ultimate aim is to be a teacher who not only earns the respect and admiration of my students but also serves as a role model they can trust and confide in.

Recognizing the importance of collaboration, I am committed to building strong relationships with colleagues, students, and families, believing that teamwork is fundamental to creating a supportive and thriving educational community. As I prepare to embark on this fulfilling journey, I am confident in my ability to contribute positively to the lives of those I will have the privilege to teach.
