My Teaching Philosophy
My Vision
As an educator, my vision is to ensure that all children regardless of gender, race, ability, or social class have the opportunity, tools, and ability to succeed. To do this, I believe in creating a collaborative learning environment where students learn from and inspire one another.
My Mission
Foster student growth to allow them to become resilient and independent learners that are capable of reaching their fullest potential.
Help students develop creative and critical thinking abilities that can be applied in new and challenging situations.
Aid students in becoming productive people who can operate and thrive in a diversifying and changing world.
Guide students towards becoming collaborative individuals who possess effective communication skills.
My Core Values
Collaboration
Collaboration
Social interactions and opportunities to collaborate with peers impact a students’ social and emotional well-being, as well as their learning. Collaboration allows students to work as a team, challenge and support one another, and provide multiple perspectives to generate a richer understanding of content.
Strong Relationships
Strong Relationships
Educators need to forge strong, positive connections with students so they can achieve independence, build confidence, and gain academic knowledge. Strong teacher-student relationships allow students to feel safe and perform to their highest ability.
Growth Mindset
Growth Mindset
Students need to be allowed to struggle and feel comfortable making mistakes and attacking problems from a different perspective. This allows students to put failures and mistakes into a growth perspective and challenge their perception of themselves.
Equity
Equity
A students' strengths and abilities should be honored in the classroom with supports put in place when students need them. Their background (abilities, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, socioeconomic status) should not limit their ability to succeed. These factors should be acknowledged and celebrated. Resources should be allocated so that every student gets what they need to be able to find success.
