Philosophy of Education: I believe that everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success. My focus is giving all my students the opportunity to desire and achieve success. If a student is willing to put in the time and effort to work on their learning, even if it is an item that is eight weeks late, I will support them so they can be successful. I believe that if a student can achieve some successes in my classroom, those may be building blocks to achieve greater successes in their future.
