In having a great passion for working with/teaching children, I think that it is immensely important to remember that everyone has a different way of learning. Some ways work better for some as opposed to others. My teaching style is always based around the children that I am teaching. Overall, I have found that there are a lot of students out there that are best able to learn by hands activities and visual cues. While I do find this to be the best method, I am not opposed to trying out new things to help the children learn to the best of their abilities, as I am a very patient and understanding teacher.

It is my sincere hope that all of my students will feel empowered not only with knowledge, but with self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-determination. Recognizing that children learn differently, I make a conscious effort to develop lessons that not only appeal to each child’s sense of fun, but also appeal to his or her style of learning. I also like to encourage students to make their own discoveries and to construct their own knowledge. My desire to teach is driven by the knowledge that teachers have a tremendous opportunity to make a difference in the lives of their students. It is with this knowledge and with an open mind and heart that I approach my teaching. Currently, I hold certifications in both Early Childhood Education and Childhood Education 1-6.
