| For me, Christian
education is a way of life. Growing up with my father as
a teacher, I knew at a very young age that I wanted to
be a teacher and work with children. Having dynamic and
inspirational teachers throughout my childhood only
solidified this quest. Because of these people, I have a
passion for teaching and who better to teach than
children…who have that passion to learn! |

| Spiritual
Philosophy |
| It is my purpose
as a teacher to develop a spiritual connection with
other teachers, the students and their parents. It is
my goal to provide an environment where a relationship
with the Lord can blossom and flourish for myself and
each of my students. |
| |
| Teaching
Philosophy |
| I believe that
children learn best by “doing”. Don’t just tell them
about popcorn, let them experience the popcorn. Let
them examine the kernels; listen as you pop; smell the
aromas; feel the texture; and taste the sweet saltiness
of the popped corn. |
| |
| I believe it’s
essential for learning to be hands-on. It’s my goal in
the classroom to create an atmosphere of discovery where
each child can explore, observe and investigate what is
being taught. |
| |
| My classroom
activities focus on a central theme for an allotted
time. I believe that children are naturally curious.
Therefore, I let them experience what we’re learning in
their math, science, reading, writing, art, etc. In
doing this, I hope to connect with and capitalize on
each student’s individual way of learning. It’s my goal
to create a classroom that is “learner” centered—one
that is inviting, stimulating and comfortable. |

| Classroom
Management |
| It is my goal to
teach responsibility by inviting students to make
decisions about their learning and the learning
environment. It is my goal to teach them to be
responsible and accountable for the decisions that they
make. |
