Our Teaching PhilosophyOur philosophy as co-teachers is to work together to instill a love of life-long learning within our students. Within the classroom, we will strive to create meaningful and engaging lessons. We will maintain a level of high expectations for our students and for ourselves. We as co-teachers will make every effort to be role models to our students and will demonstrate reliability, respectfulness, and responsibility. We hope, in turn, through our actions our students will reach the fullest of their potential becoming upstanding members of society and active participants of the community.
