Teaching Philosophy
I believe in creating a classroom community for learners of all backgrounds, which promotes curiosity, character development, experiential learning, and creativity. I have extensive training in creating an inquiry-based classroom that builds independent learning skills and encourages emotional autonomy.
I am committed to building positive educational relationships and providing valuable learning opportunities outside the classroom, as evidenced by leadership positions held in a wide variety of extracurricular activities.
Why I teach:
- Because I love exploring new worlds and concepts through children’s eyes
- Because I enjoy working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment
- Because I derive a rich sense of purpose by laying the foundation for our future
- Because I believe that teaching is what I was called to do
How I teach:
- I plan with the end in mind. I begin with, “How will this engage us, and what will meeting our goals look like?”
- I create a safe environment where students are encouraged to take risks and question what is possible
- We explore beyond our classroom and school environment to make real-life connections with what we are learning
- I tailor my units to reflect student interests, backgrounds, and curiosities using modern inquiry-based frameworks
Who I teach:
- Every student deserves to have their feelings recognized and respected
- Encouraging effort and diligent work habits that emphasizes a growth mindset over natural ability, is vital to long-term success
- Every learner deserves a teacher, a classroom, and lesson that focuses on their unique traits and abilities
What I teach:
- Early childhood literacy and numeracy, which are the foundations that the rest of our learning is built upon
- Emotional intelligence and character development through stories, role modelling, and conversations
- Topics and essential questions that connect our learning to the world around us
- The embracing of curiosity and self-driven learning
How I measure effective education:
- How excited my students are to come into class everyday
- Student assessments that emphasize relative growth instead of a simple percentage-based achievement scale
- Measurement of outcomes that inform my instruction, (something that explains to students what and why it is being measured) and
- Willingness of my students to engage with informal and formal learning outside of class
