As a teacher I consider myself to be a guide, leading my students in an adventure to obtain the key that will unlock the doors to a bright future. I strive not only to share my knowledge but also to ignite in my students a passion for learning that will enable them to become productive citizen of our world and to reach their full potential.
I treat each child as a unique individual whose learning style and attitudes may reflect his or her own interests, strengths and challenges, background, beliefs, experiences and personality. As a special education teacher I believe it's important to understand the different learning styles and strengths that students bring to the classroom. Keeping the diverse needs of my students in mind, I utilize a variety of approaches for presenting the material I teach. I incorporate IT, and audio-visual in my lessons.
I am a strong believer in the value of homework, as it not only reinforces the day's lesson but also allows the students the opportunity to evaluate their mastery of the material and to determine which concepts need more attention.
In assessing progress toward reaching the high expectations I hold for each student, I offer each child multiple opportunities for success. Taking into account their diverse learning styles, I provide students outlets to demonstrate their mastery of the subject through presentations, projects and writing assignments in addition to homework, quizzes and tests. I employ various methods of assessment which will allow my students to demonstrate their learning accomplishments, as I truly desire for every student to enjoy success in my classroom. My goal is to work collaboratively with the entire learning community (teachers, parents, and administrators) as I guide my students on their learning path, to provide them the best possible education.
