"In the game of life, children have no control over the hand they are dealt. You as a teacher, are the wild card that can make a difference in your students' lives." -The Wild Card
My Teaching Philosophy In my classroom, I will create a fun, safe, and memorable learning environment so my students can take the skills and concepts they have learned and bring them into real-world situations. I will teach to the whole child and be aware of their needs. By teaching to the whole child, I will lead them to be the best learner they can be. I will develop genuine relationships with my student and their families. I will respect each child and care for them.
My Classroom Management Philosophy My classroom management philosophy is based upon the belief that all students can be great learners and become young responsible citizens. My classroom management environment will portray a sense of safety or a home-like feel. In my classroom, I will provide opportunities for my students to show they can be responsible. There will be classroom norms put into place by the students that must be followed, when these are not followed there will be a set of natural consequences. Through this philosophy, my students will become more confident and young independent people.
