EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
I strongly believe that to be successful one must have mutual respect for one’s peers and
environment, make good relationships with co-workers and students, participate, and engage
with classroom activities. I intend to provide students with a safe environment and allow students
to work inside and outside of the classroom, making full use of their different learning styles.
