Philosophy
As a teacher and mother, I believe that one of the best gifts we can give our students is a life long love of learning and a desire for and tools to reach their number one goal, getting to Heaven. All children can learn, given the necessary supports and resources. It is our responsibility as educators to meet each student’s individual needs so that they can achieve their maximum potential. As a music teacher, I desire to instill a love for music in all students. If a child thinks they don't like music, I encourage them to keep listening until they find the right music for them. 

New for 2024-25!

Philosophy
I believe that teachers are guides on the journey of education and not dispensers of information. I believe that it is my duty to work with students and teachers to guide students to the knowledge they seek.
Students enter my class as answer-getters.  They leave as problem-solvers.  In technology, we learn about tools and skills that will be useful in high school and beyond.  Digital Citizenship, computer coding, 3D design and printing, and the engineering design process form the basis of our curriculum as we form 21st century learners.

​​Philosophy 

I  teach more than just a language, I show the students a whole new world by using communication that is the key to human relations. 
Every single person has the ability to learn, my role is to guide, mentor, motivate, encourage and facilitate information to help the students improve themselves. providing them with the right activities that make them embrace their potential so that they are able to face the real world in the future.
 
Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery.

Philosophy

My educational philosophy is a student-centered approach focusing on creating a growth mindset for all learners.  My focus is on creating physically literate students who have the confidence and enthusiasm to participate in a lifetime of physical activity.  I believe in utilizing strategies that best cultivate each learner through differentiated instruction.  I believe in all my students and I believe that all students bring something unique to the classroom that adds to the educational experience.

​Philosophy

I want the students to be able to explore their surroundings. During this time of exploration, the students will learn to become better observers and use that to be better problem solvers. The more I can engage the students outside, the better their explorer experience.
