Teaching Philosophy:
I feel strongly that each student's education should be individualized. Inclusion dictates that each child shall be given the tools and supports they need for success.
I firmly believe that educators must continue their own learning and professional development in order to stay current and progressive in terms of trends and philosophies in teaching and learning.
I believe the culture of a school is integral to student learning and educator/student relationships. With strong leadership the culture of a school will remain inclusive and poor attitudes regarding culture, ability or socio-economic status will not be tolerated.
