Teaching Philosophy

For a better understanding about what my teaching style is, and the kind of teacher I aspire to be, please look over my personal teaching philsophy. 

 

  • I believe that one way students can learn is through repetition 

  • I beleive that technoloy in a classroom should only be used for the purpose of learning 

  • I believe that learning should also incorporate fun 

  • I beleive we should encourage creativity throughout all ages and subjects 

  • I beleive every student should get an equal chance at a quality education , regardless of any special learning needs they might have, or if they do not have access to technology at home.
