Summary
I believe in promoting a classroom environment that encourages learners to not only participate but also contribute in learning. I believe that the classroom should be a safe place for all students to explore more about themselves as individuals and learn more about others in their communities and the larger world, where every student has an opportunity to voice their ideas and opinions, and for students of every type of background to be able to make connections to their own lives.
