Classroom Motto: “A Place to Become, A Place to Belong�
Teaching Philosophy My teaching philosophy embodies the belief that all students are unique learners and have a need to achieve. I will strive to give my students their own voice and choice in the classroom where they are in the center of their own learning. It is essential to build trust and respect between teacher and student, teacher and parent, teacher and administration and teacher and community. Therefore, I believe in a collaborative and cooperative community that work together to achieve the greatest results possible.
