Teaching Philosophy

 

Teaching Philosophy

My philosophy of education is that the classroom is a safe place to explore, innovate, take risks, and learn without fear of judgement or reprisal.  My classroom will foster an environment of mutual respect which will teach students what it means to be a good citizen.

I believe the role of a teacher is to give students the tools they need to succeed.  I will use strategies to ensure students are able to take charge of their own education through structured student-centered learning.  I want to instill confidence and self-sufficiency in my students so that they can be better prepared for future education, careers, and personal endeavors.

My goal is to have an effective classroom management plan that creates an atmosphere free from distraction in which all students can focus on pursuing their education.  I will be an example and role model to my students and be committed to excellence.
