IV. Philosophy of Teaching
I deeply believe in challenging students to approach learning with a sense of enthusiasm, exploration, and willingness to embrace creative challenges. When you expect a high level of academic performance from students and give them a rigorous structure that is reinforced with positivity, they rise to the occasion.
Ways to Support Students
The most important element of a classroom is the student, so I want to choose professional areas of focus based that can have a positive impact on students. Below are six major focus areas where I spend time developing materials and seeking professional development to support students.
Setting positive and forward-thinking behavior expectations.
Supplementing curriculum.
Using best practices.
Building a strong reading culture.
Communicating simply the most complicated standards.
Implementing technology.
