5TH GRADE TEACHER
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I believe that all children are
capable lifelong learners and
inquirers who have the potential
to change the world with their
unique creativity. I believe that
teaching is a continuous learning
process for both teachers and
students that should be filled with
joyful and inspiring experiences
each day. I believe that education
is a progressing and collaborative
practice that provides valuable
resources for empowering all
learners to make a difference.
