My Teaching Philosophy
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” ― Aristotle I construct collaborative and meaningful relationships with my students and their families. I take my students' cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and psychological needs and development into consideration to best meet my students' learning needs. I actively involve my students in our classroom by utilizing the ARCS motivational framework model. I provide them with authentic learning experiences and differentiated instruction through the use of a Universal Design for Learning framework to help prepare them for their futures. "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." ― Benjamin Franklin |
