Educational Philosophy
I want my students to feel the freedom to explore, question, and discover new concepts. My goal is to teach in a way in which students can relate to new concepts and construct their own conceptual understanding. This is so important to me because students will retain the information and use it beyond the classroom if they are able to relate it to their own lives. What good is education if it is forgotten once you step outside the classroom door?

Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson
