My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that all children can succeed. I respect my students and try to model behaviors that promote both academic and social responsibility. Respect and tolerance is the first step in that direction. I make a concerted effort to foster a structured, caring and nurturing environment in which students can realize their potential for success. Education is a value. I learn with and from my students. That's what makes teaching exciting for me; it is an ongoing process of learning.
I became a teacher to help, so please know that I always do my best to assist those in need. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
The Computer Use Contract will be reviewed during class, and students in grades 2+ will be required to sign an agreement that they understand the rules that I have presented to them.
