My Teaching Philosophy

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

My approach to teaching is rooted in the belief that every student has unique strengths, interests, and learning styles. I strive to create a classroom environment where students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and explore their curiosities.

I emphasize the development of critical thinking skills over rote memorization, preparing students not just for tests, but for life beyond the classroom. By integrating real-world applications and project-based learning, I help students see the relevance of their education to their own lives and future aspirations.

Technology, when used purposefully, can be a powerful tool for differentiation and engagement. I incorporate digital tools not as replacements for traditional teaching, but as enhancements that allow for personalized learning paths and collaborative opportunities.

The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning. This is the foundation of all true education.

- John Dewey
