Teaching Philosophy
All children can learn and thrive in a learning environment that is stimulating, comforting, and appropriate to children's abilities. By providing opportunities for children to construct their own learning, and by designing and implementing differentiated instruction based upon Gardner's Multiple Intelligences and Bloom's Taxonomy, I believe this may be achieved.
