Five words to describe my classroom: authentic, rigorous, supportive, engaging, and community. Students in my class have ownership of their own learning and a lot of what goes on happens organically. Because of the passion I have for my subject area and my strong desire to share it with the kids, my class is definitely engaging. Hearing any student say, "wow, class is over already?" is the best compliment I could get, right next to, "Why id the day over so soon?" Every student in my classroom has a unique voice and everyone in the room must respect it. Creating community is essential to taking risks and deeper learning. I care about my kids and they know it. Taking the time to know my students well, not just as learners, but also as people has helped to create a real sense of belonging in our shared space. No matter the obstacles they face outside the class, they strive to be the best they can be every single day.
