Philosophy of Teaching

Kids around the World (Lg.)
"I believe that children are the key to our future. I chose this profession because I want to be a part of the beginning of their academic journey. There is nothing more satisfying than watching a child academically grow. My dedication to my students is very important to me. As a teacher, I will work to the best of my ability to make sure that my students succeed. Understanding is the most important aspect in a classroom. I will make it my number one goal to make sure that my students are grasping the concepts I am teaching. I take the dedication teaching requires very seriously."
