Philosophy

My philosophy

Every child is a work of HEART I believe an empowering teacher will get to know her students on a personal level to achieve academic success.
Love & LogicI believe in creating caring and respectful relationships with students by giving choices and asking questions instead of making demands.
AVID/Costa's Higher level thinkingI believe utilizing Costa's levels of thinking enables students to not only gather information, but also process and apply knowledge.
Research, Plan, Create, CritiqueI believe art making is a process, not just a final result. I encourage students to spend time on each part of the process to help grow as creative thinkers and expand their artistic skills and ideas.
