Classroom
Goals

My goal in the classroom is to foster an environment where students feel safe and can engage in learning using a variety of techniques. Each child’s unique personality and learning style is considered as I guide and encourage them to develop their skills and expand their knowledge base to become independent, lifelong learners. I want students to try their best, learn from their mistakes, and appreciate the value of learning.
