I take all learning styles into account in my teaching - kinesthetic, auditory, and visual. I have a child-centered focus to my teaching practice. I believe in setting the bar high, and having children challenge themselves. I believe that learning is not limited to what happens within the 4 walls of a classroom, and extend my teaching into the natural environment whenever possible. I learn from my students as they learn from me, and my lessons evolve from their learning.
