Philosophy Statement
All students deserve the opportunity to engage in a spirited school community in which we respect, and collaboration are practiced. With core values in place, students can access tools and resources to help them become innovative explorers of 21st Century learning environments.
Each student plays an important role in the classroom environment. Everyone has unique strengths, interests, and learning styles. Educating young scholars to be considerate, safe digital citizens allows for celebrations of each child's individuality while simultaneously unifying a community and building a strong team. As an educator that serves the digitally native, I believe it is my responsibility to initiate reform in my instruction. I am a life-long learner and strive to constantly educate myself on ways to adapt best practices into my pedagogy. Now is the time educators must shift towards creating and maintaining a 21st Century classroom climate. Through student choice, engagement, and open minded approaches, we can help all students learn. |
