I believe that a child's growth is fostered through the community that surrounds them. I strive to engage the child’s cultural circle in the education process to ensure that the whole child is successful inside and outside a classroom.
l believe that learning is an ongoing process. That every student can build new knowledge that is based upon past experiences and meaningful connections from within the classroom through developmentally appropriate practices.
I believe that every child deserves to know they are valued as unique, capable human beings. Where their diverse ideas and multiple perspectives are embraced and encouraged to foster a positive learning outcome.
I believe that daily reflections and constructive feedback are necessary for learning to be meaningful to both the teacher and the student.
"Its a journey... no one is ahead of you or behind you. You are not more "advanced" or less enlightened. You are exactly where you need to be. Its not a contest... It's LIFE. We are all teachers and we are all students." - Lilian Katz
