PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING I believe all students can be successful, but that they learn in unique ways and progress at their own rates. Learning requires respectful collaboration and trust between teachers, students, and families. I believe that my role as a teacher is to build relationships with each student, to help them acknowledge their unique strengths, and hold them to high expectations to allow them to grow.
