ELEMENTARY EDUCATION TEACHER

EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY AND GOAL

I aspire to work in an environment where the community inspires the academics. I intend on working with
children to develop every aspect of their being: their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical selves. In
order to develop the whole child, I place emphasis on skill development, which means students must
learn through experiences. Students come to school with an innate ability to learn and an abundance of
prior knowledge that, as a teacher, is my responsibility to pull from and inspire my lessons.
