Information on me about me as a teacher- I am a 25 year old 1st year teacher, with a BA in Elementary Education and Special Education.
My educational philosophy- I believe that every child is a unique individual, with his or her own predetermined intellectual capacity. As a teacher, it is my duty to help my students reach this full potential, while preparing them for success beyond the confines of the classroom, and into the physical, social, and emotional aspects of their lives. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an philosophy, (1) the teacher acting as a guide, (2) allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and (3) promoting respect for all things and all people.
Teaching style- Facilitator Approach
