- Teaching Philosophy-
I fell in love with teaching the moment I stepped into a classroom. I often get asked why I became a teacher, and to be honest, I ended up there by a mix of fate and luck, but I stay a teacher and work hard to improve myself continually because of the students. Watching students have an a-ha moment, and coaching them through difficult times gives me a sense of fulfillment that I had never been able to find previously. My deep level of admiration for each child continually surprises me.
​
Strong relationships with students are at the heart of my teaching philosophy, which has led me to have a strength-based and person-centered approach. Strong relationships are critical, not just with the student but with the families as well. The family, student, and teacher best work together as a partnership. I believe in harnessing the joy in learning and that considering individual needs and strengths is the best way to get there. Additionally, I believe in differentiation and universal design for learning principles to give all students access to learning. Finally, at the core of my beliefs is teaching students self-determination and self-advocacy. This intrinsic motivation is particularly essential for students with disabilities. I believe this is how we can begin to close the achievement gap, and I know we can make strides while enjoying learning.
​
Note: regardless of a student's sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, ethnicity, or culture, they are welcome and will receive love and support in my classroom.
