TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I believe that all students have the right to learn and be encouraged to use their imagination.
Through inclusive education techniques students should be able to develop and learn in ways
they feel comfortable and confident. The creation of a safe and inspirational classroom
environment will foster the learning outcomes of all students and encourage them to continually
ask questions and grow as individuals.
