Educational Philosophy:

I believe every child is capable of great things. A teacher's job is to get to know each student and create a safe environment where they can flourish. Every child has a different learning style and various interests that need to be brought to light in the classroom. My goal is to instill a love for learning to make sure each student becomes a lifelong learner. Movement is progress whether each student is making a small step or a giant leap; they are making progress in the right direction.
