Philosophy of Education Every student possesses the skills necessary to learn. As an educator teaching digital aged students, it's my responsibility to challenge students' innate ability to learn and discover. Through rigorous instruction, I want to assist students with meeting the standards of learning while fostering innovation and creativity. Realizing that students come from different backgrounds, it's important that I serve as a role model for all students. By displaying the core values and ensuring that character education is displayed in my class, I will nurture students to become responsible, compassionate, and most of all life long learners. Help Me Change The World One Student, Lesson, and Hands-On Activity At A Time!
