My Teaching Philosophy
I believe that every student can learn, and it is my job to figure out how to teach them effectively. Technology will be a very big part of their futures. Toddlers are already learning how to use tablet devices such as iPads! Technological advances will continue, and students will need to progress along with those advances in order to be a functional and valuable citizens. Students will need to understand how to use technology to benefit them and help them progress in their learning. Again, that is MY job! I will use technology that is both innovative and relevant to my students. They will practice and become comfortable with various technologies throughout the year to ensure that they remain knowledgeable about the technology they need to succeed. I also firmly believe in connecting knowledge from one subject to the next. This integration will allow students to use knowledge from various subject areas to help progress their learning in all of the other subjects. My ultimate teaching goal is to ensure that all of my students receive a well-rounded and accurate education that they can apply to real-world issues in their lives.
