I hope you take the time to enjoy yourself...If you have any questions or concerned please feel free to send me a message.

**//Philosophy of Education //** I believe that each child is a unique and special individual who needs a protective, compassionate, and motivating atmosphere in order to successfully grow and mature emotionally, physically, intellectually, and socially. As a educator, it is my desire and duty to help all students I come in contact with to reach their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is not only safe but supports risk-taking and invites each student to share ideas. Three elements that I believe are essential to developing such an environment are ·  The teacher acting as a guide, ·  Allowing the child’s natural curiosity to direct his/her learning and, ·  Promoting respect for all things and all people. Teachers have to realize that their main role as an educator is not only to teach but to guide. By providing access to information rather than acting as the primary source of information, the students’ search for knowledge is met as they engage and learn to find answers to their questions. Evenly important to self-discovery is having the opportunity to study things that are meaningful and relevant to one’s life and interest. One way to take learning in the direction relevant to the student interest is to invite student dialogue about the lessons and units of study. Helping students to develop a deep love and respect for themselves, others, and their environment occurs through an open discussion to share of ideas and a judicious approach to discipline. When the voice of each student is heard, and environment evolves where students feel free to express themselves
