PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
I believe all children are capable. I believe
teacher language is one of the most
important tools a teacher possesses.
Language can and should be used in a
meaningful and impactful way. I believe
that  children should have access to a wide
array of books. These books will guide
them as they become well rounded in all
subject areas, as well as socially and
emotionally. Finally, I view myself as a
lifelong learner, and I hope to instill this
mindset in my students.
