I believe that each child has their very own unique learning style and deserves a nurturing environment with a teacher who is knowledgeable about the content they teach in order for them to reach their full potential. As a teacher, I provide this learning environment for my students by guiding them to use their own natural curiosity to learn and discover new ideas and by allowing them to share their ideas in collaboration with one another.

When the teacher's main role is to guide students to learn, their natural search for curiosity is met. It is natural for children to ask questions. I not only want my students to ask questions, but it want them to be able to find answers. It is always a pleasure to not only see the excitement in child's eye when they learn something new, but it is even better when they are able to use some self-discovery. I believe this will Foster their ability to grow into adults or 21st century thinkers and problem solvers.

I have had the unique opportunity to be part of several different classes as well as several different grade levels. Throughout my teaching career I have worked with pre-school all the way up to 5th grade. I believe this experience has shaped me into the teacher that I am now. In my classroom I have learned that the only way to reach every child is to work in small groups throughout the day. I will continue to attempt to do as much small group instruction with your students as possible. I will attempt to meet the individual needs of each and every student to help them learn to the best of their ability. I believe all students deserve an equal opportunity to learn and I will do my best to ensure that happens.
