MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY...




It is my philosophy that as a teacher I have the responsibility to teach my children to the best of my ability and to develop strategies to help them reach their full potential as well as a responsibility to enable my students to become active and informed citizens in our society and prepare them for a life beyond school. My classroom is the basis for this and that is why I will do my best to cater to the needs, abilities and interests of all my students. In creating a safe, inclusive and engaging learning environment my students will feel accepted and appreciated. I will give my students the respect they deserve and embrace diversity and in turn will gain their trust. My classroom will be a place where my students will want to come to every day and leave at the end of the day with a smile on their face and a sense of achievement.
