Summary

I firmly believe that every child has the potential to be a successful learner. I nurture this potential through inquiry, exploration, and higher-order thinking. I am committed to maintaining a safe and supportive classroom where every child feels respected and valued. As an educator, I understand that trial and error is a natural part of each student's learning process. Rather than instilling a fear of making mistakes, I aim to teach students how to turn errors into valuable learning experiences. I recognize and honor each student's unique needs and strive to differentiate instruction to support all learners.
