Philosophy of Education Twitter: @msrae___

Be a ray of sunshine when teaching. Teaching should not be centered around the wants of parents, the goals of
school boards, or the desires of government, but should be about inspiring, informing, educating, supporting, and
caring about students and setting them up for success. Be a ray of sunshine when they are learning. If students
can enjoy learning they will continue to broaden their minds and become lifelong learners which will only aid
them through life and create a more educated, curious, and innovative society. Be a ray of sunshine at every
opportunity. Although I will strive to help students become successful citizens equipped with multidisciplinary
and critical thinking skills, my goal is to be their ray of sunshine, because no matter where a student comes from
or the challenges they carry, each student deserves to have a positive and supportive figure in their lives. 
As a teacher I want to be a ray of sunshine for students' so they can grow successfully and provide sunshine to
others.
