Philosophy
I believe in teaching each child to their own individual strengths and needs. It is a priority of mine to build a classroom environment that is encouraging and accepting of each child's unique story and attributes. I feel honored to play a small role in each of my students’ lives and I take that responsibility to heart. It is my strong belief that education extends way past the school walls. It is my goal to include Christ-centered life lessons within our curriculum daily to help build students with strong moral character in addition to being lifelong learners.

Philosophy
I prioritize a student-centered teaching philosophy that builds strong relationships with my students. I aim to create an environment where they feel valued and understood, taking time to recognize their unique strengths and challenges.
I effectively integrate technology to enhance engagement, encourage collaboration, and accommodate diverse learning styles. By aligning the curriculum with students' interests and real-life applications, I strive to make learning relevant and impactful, fostering a lifelong love for education.

Philosophy
My philosophy is that all children are unique and should have choices as to how they learn, because everyone learns differently! It’s important to let their curiosity direct their learning and for me to be their guide. Therefore I strive to have each student take control of their learning. Every child has something special they can bring to the classroom and it’s my goal to help them embrace that! I bring a positive attitude about learning, high expectations, and encouragement for my students to succeed not only in school, but in life as well.
