My philosophy of education is that all students are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can build their self-esteem and meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas without fear. I will also develop a sense of community in my classes where students are responsible not only to themselves, but to the other members of the community, including me.
