My Teaching Philosophy
Education is one of the most beneficial attributes that life has to offer. I consider myself a lifelong learner and encourage everyone I know to be the same. I love to learn and I want to instill the passion for learning that I have into every child I meet. I believe that every student deserves the right to learn at his greatest potential and should be challenged appropriately. Teaching is about understanding students as individuals and adapting lessons, curriculum, activities, and structure of the classroom to meet those needs. I believe the mixture in each classroom is very unique and dependent upon the tone of the teacher.

The nation's charter schools should use their freedoms to boldly innovate and create promising strategies and practices that can be used by all schools, Bill Gates said to an audience of thousands of charter school operators and supporters this morning. "The fact is the majority of children in the country are attending schools that don't work for them. So it's imperative that we take the risk to make change," Gates said to the audience at the National Charter Schools Conference in Chicago. "Not just small change at the margin, but dramatic changes that are centered around the student. I believe the seeds of that new approach are being sown at those [high-performing charter] schools." - Bill Gates
