Philosophy of Education: My teaching philosophy is one that incorporates a broad spectrum of methodologies and techniques. First of all, I am an advocate of hands-on learning because I believe that students achieve when they are fully engaged in understanding the process, can make a personal connection, and then apply that information. Next, my philosophy is focused on building meaningul relationships with my students. In my classroom I hope to develpment those relationships with my students that they will carry with them for a lifetime.
