Our Philosophy

All students can learn when they are respected and acknowledged for their unique differences and strengths that they bring to the classroom.
I am a teacher because I want to have the privilege of helping my students achieve the unimaginable and I want to give them the best experience both personally and academically by teaching them lessons that impact their lives and carry on with them for years to come. My lessons and activities that I will provide in the classroom will encourage engagement and participation because those are vital aspects that help lead to learning. I will do my best to incorporate all of the multiple levels of intelligences in order to cater to each student because children learn in different ways between kinesthetic, visual, auditory, and tactile methods. All students are capable of learning; they only need guidance to have it brought out. As students are learning, the teacher is learning as well. There is no end to the path of knowledge. All questions are important and everyone should be given a fair chance at finding the answers. I want my students to be in a comfortable environment where they are not afraid to take risks and be incorrect at times. My classroom will be set up with groups of students sitting together and with some individual desks in case some would rather work independently. I will be using the student-centered teaching approach. Schools should teach students to think for themselves and to be individuals using their own levels of creativity and critical thinking skills. Students also should be prepared to collaborate with others in the community and the world without resulting to conformity. Students all learn at their own paces and should be seen as different and unique. One way to have them understand that differences are fine is to provide them with opportunities to understand the different cultures that make up our community by having students share their family backgrounds with the class for example.
