Teaching Portfolio

I believe that my role as an educator is to guide and collaborate with children as they discover the world around them using their natural curiosity. I place an importance on forming relationships with each individual and unique child to help them be the best version of themselves. I strive to encourage a growth mindset, and a classroom community where each child feels safe to make mistakes and learn from them.

​

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, I agree that the responsibility of an educator is to pay respect for children's potential to interact with their world, develop personal, meaningful relationships and construct new, complex meanings and knowledge. I believe bring immersed in the local community is also important for the classroom.

​

My philosophy places importance on experiential learning and sees the child as strong, capable, and resilient. Children form an understanding of themselves by exploring the world around them in relationship-driven environments.
