Philosophy

The goals I have set for my leaning environment are that all students feel comfortable and at home in the environment I have made for them, students are always eager to learn and are able to do so in multiple ways, and that all students who come into my learning environment leaving feeling stronger than they did when they walked in. I believe that providing a space for children to feel comfortable is a vital ingredient when it comes to teaching. I believe the best way to get students exited about learning and eager to learn, is to understand what excites them the most.

Allowing students to have the freedom they deserve when they walk into a learning environment is another vital ingredient. When a student feels that they are supported and that their decisions are supported, the work they create will more than likely be their best work. I believe that providing a environment that promotes intellectual freedom allows students to grow in ways that they have not been able to before.
