Preservice Special Education Teacher

My philosophy as a preservice teacher is growing and developing the more I learn.  As an advocate, an educator, a learner and a member of CEC, I seek out knowledge and encourage my students to do the same.  The sky is the limit!  

Every person is capable of learning and succeeding in the classroom. I look at each person as an individual.  They have different needs, learning styles, strengths and struggles.

 I will always try my best and put forth 110% to accommodate my students and lead them down the right path.  I will help them build upon their strengths and build up their weaknesses.  I will encourage them to see the good in themselves and others.  I want my students to feel prepared for the road ahead of them intellectually, emotionally and technicalogically.  

I believe being a good role model and setting positive examples is crucial in order to create a safe and encouraging environment for my students.  I will always and forever be devoted to my students as individuals and my job as an educator.  Teaching is one of the greatest gifts!
