My
Philosophy
“I AM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT EVERY CHILD HAS
THE ABILITY TO LEARN. I AM HERE TO EMPOWER
STUDENTS AND TEACH THEM LIFE SKILLS THAT
WILL HELP THEM BUILD CHARACTER AND SELFESTEEM. I WANT TO INSPIRE MY STUDENTS AND
ALLOW THEM TO MAKE DECISIONS ON HIS/HER
OWN. I WANT TO CHALLENGE MY STUDENTS TO
DO THEIR BEST. I VALUE EACH STUDENT’S
DIFFERENT STYLES OF LEARNING AND WILL BE
IMPLEMENTING DIVERSE STRATEGIES TO FULFILL
THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.”
