All About Me
I strongly believe early childhood educators must have a passion for teaching and learning that can be shared with their students. As a teacher I believe in child-directed, emergent curriculum that allows children the chance to generate ideas and set goals that make for much richer activities while developing a positive self-image. I feel my professional responsibility as a teacher is to keep my students physically safe, where they can learn without the risk of injury. As a teacher, I am also challenged to create a collaborative triad between teacher, parent/student, and community. I hope each student I teach develops social skills, cultural tolerance, and a sense of justice and respect. I have a passion for reading and learning new information. I enjoy spending time with my son and our dog outdoors; mushroom hunting, swimming, and searching for buried treasure with a metal detector.
