I Believe…

that all students should feel safe
that all students should feel like they belong.
that all students should know that they matter.
that all students should have access to the help and resources they need to succeed.
that diversity should be celebrated and represented in the classroom.
that all students have voices and should not be silenced.
that teachers must be innovative and resourceful.
that teachers must be inclusive of all students.
that students should not be the only ones learning in the classroom.
that the classroom should be a stable, welcoming environment where students can become entrenched in learning and grow confident in their abilities and skills.
