My philosophy as a teacher is that learning should be accessible, meaningful and personal for every learner. My goal is to create an environment where students feel safe to develop their curiosity and wonder. Through personal relationships with students I strive to help them make meaningful connections between their learning and the world around them. I want students to know that anything they want to learn is accessible to them and not to fear learning things that may seem hard because they have the learned the skills to approach the challenge.
