Teaching Philosophy: My philosophy of education is that all students deserve an education where they are treated as the unique individuals they are. I believe that to be a successful teacher, one must teach the whole student: to help them grow mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially. It is my goal to create a learning environment where students are invited to explore and make mistakes with the confidence that they will be supported no matter the outcome.
