Summary
My teaching philosophy centers on building strong, positive relationships to create a safe, supportive environment where students feel valued and motivated. I prioritize student-led instruction, fostering a growth mindset that encourages resilience and a love for learning. By differentiating instruction to meet diverse needs, I ensure that all students can engage with the material in meaningful ways. I also collaborate with families to reinforce learning beyond the classroom and support each child's academic and personal growth.
