Teaching+Philosophy





“People won’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” –Theodore Roosevelt I believe students are the same way. They want to know you care about their interests, strengths, and weaknesses. When they feel you care, only then will they want to learn from you.

I want to bring excitement and energy into my classroom. If I am not excited about the lesson, how can the students be? I will strive daily to create lessons that will engage my students. Learning should be fun, but sometimes it is dreaded. I want the students to enjoy stepping into my classroom knowing they are going to learn. I want them to feel that what they are about to do is important, not just busy work.

“Mistakes are proof you are trying.” –Unknown Mistakes are a part of learning and everyday life. My classroom will be a positive environment where students feel safe, secure, uplifted, and know that it is okay to make mistakes. Room for mistakes is critical. Students need to learn how to problem solve and fix mistakes. By having this type of classroom the students are free to learn and grow without fear of discouragement.

I started pursuing my dream of teacher because of the desire I had to help every child succeed. Throughout my time as a student I have seen children who get left behind, struggling. On some occasions the teachers did what they could to help and other times they did not. Every child deserves a chance to succeed. They deserve to have a teacher who works their hardest, gives their best, and never gives up on them. I will work my hardest every day to be that teacher.
