Philosophy of Education

I believe children learn best when they are actively engaged in hands on activities making personal connections and relating with the content. I want to help children become critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and passionate life-long learners. I believe this is best achieved in a positive environment that focuses and accommodates the child’s strengths while addressing their needs. I believe that children live in the moment and their learning is directly connected to their emotions.  Children learn in social settings and allowing the student to work cooperatively with others is essential skill building for their future.  Children learn in a variety of ways that need to be accessed and utilized for the optimal experience in the classroom. I want to be the teacher that helps each child succeed in their educational journey as well as in their personal fulfillment.

 

 

Philosophy of Management

       I believe children behave best in a classroom that fosters individuality, creativity, and positivity.  Creating an environment that allows children to work at the level that challenges them enough to learn and still succeed reduces behavioral problems. The classroom should also be organized in a way that enhances learning and student independence. Students must feel safe and comfortable in their learning environment. The classroom is a learning community where each citizen is treated with respect for their input, ideas and opinions.
