Teaching Philosophy
I will provide a positive and safe environment for my students to promote strong relationships. This safe environment involves allowing my students to learn through the mistakes, challenges, and lessons while encouraging them to grow in confidence. I desire to build trusting relationships with each of my students which will be the foundation for supporting each individual in their cognitive, social-emotional, language, and physical development. I want to be a teacher that shows students they can be successful if they apply themselves and put forth their best effort.
I will have consistent and clear expectations so that the students will have a greater opportunity for using their self-regulation and self-management skills independently. I will have my students work with me to create guidelines and goals for our classroom which aim to promote respect for each person and a sense of belonging. I will provide many opportunities for choice within activities, lessons, and seating arrangements which will promote a safe environment within my classroom. I will provide differentiated lessons, hands-on opportunities for learning, adaptations and modifications to allow each learner to susceed in their unique way. Each of these aspects of my teaching philosophy will guide me to be a teacher that can make a difference in a child's life.
