My teaching philosophy is rooted in a strength-based approach to learning. I believe that all students deserve to have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally and socially.
I work to create a classroom culture where students can meet their full potential. I use a variety of modalities to support students to understand their strengths and learn through hands-on experience, active participation, case studies and positive reinforcement.
