My Philosophy of Education
I believe the purpose of education is to introduce students to the world around them and to equip them with the necessary skills to be able to successfully navigate through life. My aim is to create a student-centered classroom with hands-on experiences and inquiry-based learning. I believe it’s important for students to be active participates in their own education to create a productive learning environment. Skills such a creative thinking, problem-solving, and empathy will be integrated into the lessons that are taught. As my students are learning and developing, I will also continue my own personal growth as a future educator.
