Personal Philosophy of Education

I feel that my instruction, classroom and interests should evolve with the students. I am a member of the classroom that will learn along with my students. When learning, we focus on the idea of process over product, hands-on learning, positive reinforcement and real-world authentic experiences with the focus of students learning through play to make sense of the content in a hands-on manner that mimics the real world with everyday objects to develop thinking that leads to a solid understanding of language, mathematical and scientific processes. I believe at any age discovering and understanding with concrete objects is essential to aid formal abstract conversations that are meaningful, interactive, fun, inspiring and exciting.
