I believe that every child is unique and special. I will assist my students in expressing themselves for who they are, as well as to embrace the difference of their peers. My role as a teacher is to assist the student in developing their learning style and potential, and developing curriculum that incorporates each learning style. I believe that each and every classroom has its own unique community. My classroom will be a safe and caring community where the students are free to speak their mind and blossom and grow. I plan use strategies such as morning meeting, classroom jobs, and positive and negative discipline. Teaching is a continuous learning process; learning from students, parents, community, and colleagues. Teaching is a long process of learning new ideas, new strategies, and maybe even new philosophies. Overtime my education philosophy may change, and I'm okay with that. If it changes it means that I have grown and learned new things.
