My Philosophy
• I believe that we have to use multiple methods to approach all learning styles and to captivate students’ minds.
• Students should experience learning, not just hear it.
• I believe that children have so much negativity in their lives. We can make school a positive, rewarding and fun part of their day and impact their lives. I enjoy helping children find success and build confidence.
