MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

When I first entered education with a smile on my face and so many questions about what to do, I truthfully felt massively overwhelmed. As excited as I was for what lay ahead, I was nervous. Knowing the impact I was going to have on students' lives was daunting, but as I sit down and write out my philosophy here, two years later, this impact no longer feels daunting. This impact inspires me daily and keeps me grounded in my work. The wellbeing of my students as whole children drives my passion for education. Now I do understand the mental, physical, and emotional dedication this work requires, and when people ask me, “Are you sure you want to keep doing this?” my answer is a resounding, confident, prideful “Yes!”
