Educational Philosophy
My personal goal for my current and future classroom is to challenge students and watch them grow to
their full potential. I want to take students at different levels and see them develop together for the
betterment of each individual. In my classroom, I want students to have freedom that allows for
expression and creativity. Students should experiment with likes and dislikes and to realize their
strengths and weaknesses. After this base is developed, the curriculum can be accommodated to tailor
each student’s learning style.
