The elementary school that I work at is a school of character with pride in their students and staff. We work hard to support our students to succeed. I draw from my heart to reach each student emotionally, thereby gaining their trust to encourage them academically. One needs to create a safe and loving classroom environment that allows my students to be comfortable to challenge themselves to meet the high learning expectations I have for their learning goals. My students have the ability; they just need to find it within themselves. Through high expectations, encouraging goals, accepting mistakes, and cheering success, my students are becoming excited learners, who are not afraid to learn new concepts and become life long learners.
