My Philosophy of Education

My goal for students is that they grow up to be happy, productive adults with the tools to continue learning in whatever areas may interest them. In order to accomplish this goal, I implement the following stategies in my classroom:

• I stress problem solving and critical thinking in all subjects.
• Realizing that students of any age learn in different ways, I teach to a variety of learning styles.
• I aim toward fostering a sense of independence and confidence, along with strong interpersonal skills.
• I try to demonstrate my own interest and enthusiasm for learning in the hope that these attitudes will spread to my students and light them on fire in their desire to learn.
• I've found that one of the the most effective ways for children to learn is for them to be actively involved and having a good time. This is one reason why I like to incorporate games, hands-on projects, and manipulatives into my teaching. Children tend to learn more easily if they are interested, active and having fun.
