Hey everyone! I'm Amber Warren. I am new to the Highcroft family this year! This will be my 7th year of teaching. I taught 3rd grade for four years and 2nd grade for two years. I worked in preschool for about 6 years before elementary.
I'm from the middle of Harnett County, North Carolina which is about an hour south of Raleigh. My husband and I are newlyweds! We got married in October 2022. We are very excited to move to the Raleigh area!
I am so looking forward to this school year! We are going to have a fabulous year!

My teaching philosophy revolves around fostering a nurturing and inclusive classroom environment where each child feels valued and empowered to reach their fullest potential. I believe in cultivating a student-centered approach, tailoring lessons to accommodate diverse learning styles and interests. I aim to ignite a passion for lifelong learning by making education engaging, interactive, and relevant to real-life experiences. Encouraging open communication with students and their families is fundamental to creating a strong support system that enhances their academic and personal growth. Ultimately, I am committed to instilling not only academic knowledge but also essential life skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, and empathy, to equip my students for success in an ever-changing world.
