As a teacher, I will aim to facilitate growth in all facets of my students' lives. I believe minds are naturally curious, and I hope to create curriculum that satisfies and caters to that reality. Knowing each student learns differently and brings diverse experiences and beliefs into the educational setting, I will constantly strive to reach and guide them in the most effective way. Providing a safe and welcoming environment in which no student is scared to give input or ask questions is a goal that is of the utmost importance. I also intend to constantly and continuously seek growth and improvement for myself, so I can be the best I can for my students. Creating a learning community in which there is support, empathy, and an atmosphere of self-confidence is something toward which I will constantly strive. I hope to exemplify and help cultivate the values my students need in order to improve the quality of their education, their relationships, and their community.
