Philosophy
Students will have a supportive environment to succeed
in. I will do this by encouraging students to ask
questions and by reminding them that it is okay not to
have all of the answers. I will remind them that if we
keep asking questions, we can keep digging for answers
and developing our understandings. I also try to keep
students engaged in the material by linking science facts
to big ideas that relate to their lives. By doing this, I hope
to help my students relate to the material better and to
become more inquisitive learners.
