Teaching Philosophy

   My teaching philosophy revolves around six notations. First,it is our job as teachers to make sure that every child's needs are met. We need to be willing to accommodate and modify to children needs at any moment. Also remember when teaching, it doesn’t mean being “fair," it means pushing each student to his or her fullest potential. Second, we have to be ready to think fast on our feet in the middle of lesson when a child isn’t getting the material. Third, we need to be flexible, patient, and caring. Fourth most of all we need to be willing to give up our own free time in order to help those struggling when class time isn't enough.  Fifth, if we cannot explain to students why something we are teaching is important then send them home, because there is no reason for students to waste their time in school. Sixth, in order for learning to occur with the students, we need to build a foundation of respect.
