The educator's goal is to expand students' views of Earth and space through in-depth exploration of natural processes and how they relate to students' lives. They will establish a safe classroom where students can have debates and research without wrong answers, and the educator acts as a facilitator rather than authority. Using problem-based learning, the educator aims to involve students in collaborative work developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills through meaningful assignments and projects incorporating technology to prepare students for life after high school. The educator's focus is on preparing students with skills to achieve their potential by catering to different learning styles and helping students gain confidence in their future.

Philosophy of Education
My goal as an educator in the field of Earth & Space exploration, is to
expand the views my students have about the world in which they live. In depth exploration of the many natural processes that occur in and outside our planet will allow them to find meaning and build connections to their everyday lives. I seek to improve their understanding about nature, geologic processes, climate, astronomy and how humanity plays an important role. In order to accomplish such a task, first, I need for my students to understand that in my science classroom there are no wrong answers, only debates waiting to take place and research to do. It is important for them to see that they are in a safe classroom environment where the educator does not function as an all knowing authoritative figure. On the contrary, the educator functions as a facilitator, a mentor, and a respectful human being. After trust is established, I want students to feel included in their learning. Because Problem-Based Learning is a student centered pedagogy where students collaborate with one another, develop problem-solving skills, work on meaningful assignments, and push themselves to think critically, I look forward to applying this form of instruction into my classroom. As technological advancements evolve, my students need to be exposed to technology and resources that will prepare them for life after high school. With Problem-Based Learning, Ill be able to incorporate such resources and technologies into lessons and projects. Fostering critical thinkers and knowledgeable adults can only benefit society in the long run.
My main focus is to prepare my students with the necessary skills to
achieve their potential. By carrying out my vision for the classroom and my personal teaching philosophy I intend to cater to the learning styles of my students and help them find the confidence to say that they are prepared to face their future.
