Summary
With the future of this world gaining their knowledge and skills from me, I want to give them all the tools necessary to be successful and kind human beings. Empathy will be at the center of my classroom as learning cannot take place until good rapport is established. I will cater to all my students needs with a multi-angled teaching approach that allows my students to express themselves creatively while building on essential learning aspects that will carry over into their future endeavors.
