Philosophy of Teaching
Promoting diversity and tolerance in all students will decrease prejudice and
discrimination in future generations, and create of society that shows respect
for individuals of all cultures and backgrounds.
The classroom should be an open and welcome, anxiety-free place, where teachers
and students can collaborate and work together to develop many opportunities for
interaction, student development, and positive self-esteem.
Multiple forms of instruction and assessment will address the many diverse needs
of learners. Student-centered
activities will empower, motivate, and engage students to take responsibility
and control over their own learning.
Positive reinforcement and incentives, as well as having a good classroom
management plan, is the best tool for motivating and influencing student
behavior.
