PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
I believe that all students deserve to be educated in a positive, safe environment where they are able to develop the positive selfesteem that will enable them to be unafraid to ask questions and take risks. My role as a teacher is to provide such an environment and
the opportunities and tools students need to construct their own base of knowledge. I hope that my own passion for life-long learning
and enrichment helps to instill a strong desire to learn in all of my students.
