My Teaching Philosophy
“For me, the ideal classroom environment is student-centered. I strive to create learning scenarios where the students are undertaking individual or group projects while I move throughout the classroom facilitating.”
“My classroom focuses on the individual needs of my students. I work hard to differentiate learning so that each student’s unique skills are emphasized.”
“I always ensure that my lessons involve multiple learning modalities so that students learn through their preferred learning style.” One example teaching strategy that I often employ is the guided practice or ‘I do, we do, you do’ method. This approach starts with teacher modelling a practice but involves the gradual release of responsibility to the student until the student can undertake tasks on their own.
