Instructional Philosophy
We feel that all students have the ability to learn to some degree. We believe that education is the greatest gift that can ever be given. We also believe that all individuals are entitled to receive that gift. We think that we should do our best to reach out and touch our students lives and make a difference. Students need to know we, as teachers, believe in them.
