Teaching Philosophy:
Students learn best when they are engaged with relevant material that is presented in a clear and interesting manner, and when they understand how they will be required to demonstrate their knowledge or skills. There is a shared responsibility between teachers, students, parents, and the administration to create a safe, respectful environment that encourages curiosity, fun, and an intrinsic motivation to learn.
