I believe that feeling connected and building relationships with students is most important. Every child wants to feel heard and cared for by their teacher, and this is something I strive to do each year in my classroom. I demonstrate this by allowing students to get to know my personality and information about my life, while I reciprocate these actions towards them. Everyday I learn more about my students and about the diverse cultures and traditions we have in our class and incorporate my learning into our classroom family. My classroom is always a safe space for children to be who they are and to allow their personalities to shine, along with spreading positivity and kindness. I believe in providing inclusive practices to include all learners in my classroom. I do this by using the adaptive dimension to create meaningful and valuable lessons for all. I like to provide multi-sensory experiences to my lessons to reach different learning styles of my students. I want all of my students to know that learning includes practice and mistakes to reach our goals. Lastly, I believe that every child matters. This goes along with my belief for all of my students to feel connected to their teacher and peers at school. As a teacher, I will always go above and beyond to make sure my student’s needs are being met in the best way possible.
