I believe students should be at the center of the learning process and that educational decisions should reflect this. I will provide a safe and welcoming environment where students feel accepted and free to share and explore. My goal is to create a classroom community that is conducive to the learning environment. I want my students to feel free to express themselves and embrace each other's differences. I want to guide my students to realize their unique learning styles. I will strive to introduce content and curriculum that utilizes various learning styles. I will set high expectations for all my students to achieve their best. I will attempt to keep an open mind and continually learn through my educational experiences as a teacher, student, and professional.
