Resume & Philosophy

Philosophy of Education

We come together in a classroom and are either asked to use our differences or put them aside and work together for a specific outcome. When we use creative outlets with students to show their learning, we allow them to explore the vast possibilities of demonstrating knowledge. In my classroom, I implement life long learning strategies and writing skills to prepare students for college or work ready citizens. In my classroom, students are assessed in a variety of ways to demonstrate their thinking and improve their desire to be life long learners.
