Summary
I am passionate about teaching and growing little minds. I believe in being a dedicated and responsive professional with proven skills in classroom management, behavior modification, and individualized support. I believe it is important to be comfortable working with students of different skill levels to promote learning, and boost education. I hope to serve as a role model by using a growth mindset to develop young minds, and inspire a love of learning. I believe strongly that the classroom should be a loving, nurturing environment that will keep students excited to love learning. I love the idea of collaborating with fellow educators to make the classroom a fun, engaging environment for students. I am also passionate about being able to grow and foster a love for Jesus in daily activities, and open communication between teacher and students.
