Educational Philosophy
Learning is a lifelong process of infusing current knowledge with newly acquired knowledge. The teacher’s role in the classroom is to facilitate student learning as a collaborative process where students learn writing skills that continually develop and evolve. Integrated differentiated instruction also helps students to learn the material in ways that will motivate and promote interest in the subject. Technology facilitates this process and helps develop dynamic learning communities. The overall goal in my teaching is to promote critical thinking and independent learning skills for the future.
