Educational
Philosophy
and
Beliefs
Learning
should
be
engaging
and
fun,
as
well
as
educational
Assessment
needs
to
happen
frequently
and
authentically
to
allow
for
student
growth
and
progress
Checking
for
understanding
is
invaluable;
if
the
students
are
not
understanding
something
it
needs
to
be
addressed
The
classroom
is
not
just
a
place
for
students
to
grow
academically
but
also
emotionally
and
mentally;
the
culture
of
the
classroom
should
reflect
this
Science
education
should
be
as
hands
on
as
possible
Students
prior
knowledge
needs
to
be
acknowledged,
as
they
will
measure
much
of
you
teach
by
what
they
already
know
