Teaching Philosophy

Inspiring Creativity in Learning

I believe education is a transformative process that should encourage creativity, curiosity, and love of learning. Fostering creativity in the classroom equips students to thrive in the world. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating an environment where students feel empowered to think divergently and connect knowledge meaningfully. With my background in design, I aim to build tools that all types of learners will enjoy and grasp the concepts taught.

Core Principles

Creating Relationships and a Safe Space

A creative mind flourishes in an environment where it feels safe to explore and experiment. I want to build a classroom culture that values diversity of thought and celebrates mistakes as opportunities to grow. By encouraging respectful dialogue and curiosity, I want to help students find their unique voices and express themselves without fear of judgment. Creating a trusting relationship with my future students will help me to build unique lessons for them to learn and grow.

Learning Through Exploration

I prioritize active learning, where students are not passive recipients of information but co-creators of knowledge. I believe that this is the best way to make students involved and interested in learning. Through hands-on experience, I aim to create a space where my future students can explore the world around them—building cross-curricular activities that will help students excel in school. This interdisciplinary approach mirrors real-world challenges and inspires students to view problems from multiple perspectives, fostering innovative thinking.
