My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks.
I believe that there are five essential elements that are conducive to learning. (1) The teacher's role is to act as a guide. (2) Students must have access to hands-on activities. (3) Students should be able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their learning. (4) Students need the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. (5) Technology must be incorporated into the school day.
I aim to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations to the classroom each day. I believe that I owe it to my students, as well as the community, to bring consistency, diligence, and warmth to my job in the hope that I can ultimately inspire and encourage such traits in the children as well.

Attributes Important for being a Teacher
I believe there are many skills or attributes necessary to be an outstanding teacher. Some of the most important qualities a teacher should possess are compassion, dedication, classroom management, and excellent communication skills. An outstanding teacher does not limit their duties to just teaching, but is involved with their students as a whole, cognitively and emotionally.
Teachers should be loving, caring and compassionate towards their students. Teachers must have excellent rapport with their students and need to make it known to their students that they are easily able to talk to whenever they have a situation they need help with (inside or outside of the classroom). To achieve this, teachers must create a positive learning environment where all children can develop a sense of self – worth, high self- esteem, self – control and respect for others. An outstanding teacher uses excellent classroom management techniques to produce this safe, positive learning environment.
Being able to communicate effectively is another skill necessary to be an outstanding teacher. An outstanding teacher believes in working as a team. They communicate effectively with colleagues, and families to build a caring classroom and school community. An outstanding teacher must also communicate with their students to adjust to their ever changing academic and social needs.
