My Educational Philosophy

My educational philosophy is to provide students with the best possible chance to succeed not only in school, but in their everyday lives. Every student deserves a dedicated and responsible teacher that cares about what she is teaching and makes sure every student is learning. Teachers in general seem to expect so much out of their students, but they seem to forget that they need to give an equal amount of commitment. If I expect my students to put in the required work to receive good grades, then I should also expect of myself to put in the work to allow that to happen. I challenge myself as I challenge my students.

By proving to my students that I am loyal and dedicated to enhancing their education, I hope students will recognize me as a role model and use that philosophy in their own lives. As they struggle through school, jobs, and personal lives, I hope that they remember there was a teacher they once had that believed in them and their abilities. That the teacher did all she could to make sure they understood the value of not only English, but also the value of life itself and the lessons it teaches.
