TEACHING PHILOSOPHY

As a teacher it is my responsibility is to provide students with a learning environment that is safe and where
students feel valued. Every student deserves, and is more than capable of one year of educational growth; to
their maximum capacity, this is my responsibility to ensure this. As a teacher I will provide students with the
knowledge, skills and behaviour, which will continue with their life long learning journey. Through my
experiences in the classroom this has shaped how I can create a productive, and supporting learning
environment for students.
