My role as an educator is to use my pragmatic philosophy to teach my students. I consider my students and me to be equals. I am the leader in the classroom yet my students may take this same role at different times. I want them to learn and interact with one another. I want to teach my students the understanding that comes through being open- minded. It is important to respect the individual for their opinion but you do not have to agree with it.

    I believe every child, regardless of ability or disability, deserves the opportunity receive an equal education and deserves the opportunity to learn. Children should be given the tools needed in order for them to reach their full potential. This means that every possible resource or modification is given to every student to make learning possible. Individual learning styles should be accounted for and utilized with each child.
