Educational Philosophy

To encourage all students, staff, and colleagues to become life long learners.

Creating a Conducive Environment

Strong belief that a classroom should be warm and welcoming. A place where kids can feel safe as they learn and meet their personal goals.

Using Smart Board Technology

I feel comfortable using new and emerging technologies to deliver comprehensive lesson plans.

Staff works closely together

These staff members embraced my idea of academic competitions.

These staff members worked on the judging panel of the school wide spelling bee.

Participating in the Democratic Process

Help design and implement the leadership program. Students were able to vote for who their representatives were going to be by filling out the ballots.

Academic Competitions

Compare quality and price with those of the competition

Using Creative Energy

Staff is encouraged to Participate in activities

A teacher assistant in my classroom was encouraged to participate in art activities.

Science Projects

In my creative classroom, science is not just textbook it is lived out loud Performing science projects and experiments was a regular occurrence in my classroom.

Positive Rewards helps student's self esteem

Rewarding positive behavior and good grades is very important for student

self-confidence, morale, and promotes intrinsic learning principles.

School Participation is Key

As ridiculous as I may look, I found the students participated more in activities when I did. Therefore, I don't mind encouraging school wide buy-in by looking silly from time to time. This was crazy hair day.
