PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
For me, teaching provides an opportunity for continued learning and growth. One of my hopes as an educator, is to instill
a love of learning in my students and to help them them discover their passions, as I share my own enthusiasm for
learning with them. As an educator, I believe that helping students to develop a deep love and respect for themselves,
others, and their environment occurs through an open sharing of ideas, consistency with discipline, and by ensuring my
students have access to a rich and engaging education.
