Sara's Teaching Philosophy
As an educator, I believe that...
-
All students' deserve a fair education.
-
Each and every student should be provided with the chance to succeed to the best of their ability.
-
Teachers should make learning engaging for all, through hands-on and authentic teaching.
-
Instruction should be differentiated and scaffolded.
-
Informal and formal assessments should help drive instruction.
-
The classroom environment needs to be warm, nurturing, and caring.
-
Technology should be incorporated to expand the students' learning.
-
Teachers need to become familiar with their students on a personal level.
-
Classroom norms and expectations are distinguished as a class.
-
Parents need to be part of their child's education, whether volunteering, coming to after school activities, or helping with homework.
-
The school, teachers, parents, students, and community need to work together.
