PHILOSOPHY

My educational philosophy is based upon that which best benefits the learning of all students at that time. The world is ever-changing; therefore, educational practices must be aligned with societal demands in efforts of developing productive citizens. I am an advocate for children and their academic success. I pledge to exercise leadership strategies that support the correlation between strategic planning, effective communication, great teaching, and student achievement. The rewards in teaching and observing a child grow academically and socially far outweigh the logistical responsibilities of being an educator. It is my ultimate educational responsibility to maximize the use of motivational and best-supported teaching methods and guide students in reaching their highest potential.
