My classroom philosophy is largely based on relationships. I believe that it is very important to foster and promote a loving, inclusive, and supporting learning environment. When students feel all of these things, they are more likely to succeed in academics and social settings/skills.

​

      I believe that my role as a classroom teacher is not only to teach content, but also teach young learners how to be good people! I believe that the foundations they learn in early Elementary have the ability to shape their character and future. 

​

      I also believe in the discipline with dignity approach to learning. I believe that students should be held accountable for their actions, and that expectations, consequences, and positive discipline are all essential to providing a quality education and forming students into socially responsible and kind people!
