TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
My teaching philosophy starts with my love of learning. I want all my students to love to come to school, want to learn,
and have a lifetime of learning. Teaching is not just a job, or a career, it is a lifestyle. To create a lifetime learner, you have
to start small and work up. You only have each student for one year, so making the best of each day is important. My
goal is to improve student achievement with quality instruction, structure, interesting activities, engagement in critical
thinking, and to be an influence that prepares them for the future.
