Welcome To My Professional Teaching Web-Page
While exploring my web-page you will discover the journey I have set upon in hopes of becoming an elementary school teacher.
Statement of teaching philosophy:
“The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds,
so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.” – Bill Beatie
It is my love of children, of community and of harnessing compassionate, socially responsible, open-hearted individuals, that has allowed me the proper mindset to reflect upon my philosophy of education. In keeping with these dreams, I believe that in order to fully educate any person, one must grant that person the freedom to learn, to create, to speak their mind and to make mistakes. My goal as a teacher is to channel these freedoms when guiding the young minds of children. I feel that learning can only occur when a student feels encouraged to meet their full potential; I aspire to create an environment which allows children to feel comfortable expressing their needs, personal and academic goals, and aspirations while certain that they will receive the respect of their classmates and myself. I believe wholeheartedly in the concept of the classroom community – each child feeling equally responsible for the well-being of their peers as they do themselves. With an attention for mindfulness, students become socially responsible learners, open to different ideas, values and mentalities – open to learning. In such an environment I will take the role as facilitator, providing materials and outlets for students to reach their potential.
