Philosophy of Education:

I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as a educator to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment, (1) I as a teacher must act as a guide as my students search for knowledge, (2) I try to allow the child's natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and (3) I must promote a feeling of mutual respect in my classroom, and school.
