Teaching Philosophy
As technology grows in the 21st Century, I believe that my subject area is very important for the professional development of our students. One of the areas in which I am credentialed is Information Communication Technologies.
In my perspective, teaching can be a rewarding experience when students enjoy learning the subject that is being taught. It is crucial for me as a teacher to continue to promote student growth by engaging my students in my lessons and motivating them to learn the subject. When students leave my classroom, I would like for them to feel empowered to pursue their careers and be able to apply the skills learned in the future.
