HI & WELCOME TO MY TEACHING E-PORTFOLIO My vision for teaching is to instill all students with a profound love for learning that will continue to be an internal source of motivation throughout the rest of their lives. The greatest lesson I learned as a student was to be a lifelong learner. It is this unwavering passion that forms the foundation of my commitment to being an educator who always teaches from the heart. It is the culmination of my unique experiences; working in a multitude of environments, in various leadership roles and with children of varying ages and developmental levels, that embody my commitment to the teaching profession.
I am wholeheartedly dedicated to working alongside a multidisciplinary team, other staff and students, symbiotically teaching and learning in a cohesive learning environment. By making the classroom a subdivision within the greater community, a space will be created where differences can be celebrated. A place where the critical thinking is accentuated, inquiry is fostered and the potential for student growth extends far beyond the walls of the classroom.
My commitment to being a 21st century teacher is deeply rooted in my ability to harness each students’ creative potential and is grounded in my own personal research: “Creative Development of the 21st Century Student: Arts-Science Integrations in Primary-Junior Classrooms.” Furthermore, the unique experience of teaching and learning in an Assistive Technology Class has provided me with a thorough understanding of how to authentically integrate technology into all areas of the curriculum. I strive to demonstrate flexibility in the sense that I intend to reinvent my teaching practices on a daily basis to adapt to the unique needs of each and every one of my students. This willingness to adapt and cater to the unique needs of all learners is a prerequisite to a successful learning experience.
I believe that as a teacher I am both prepared and excited to become the conduit between children and a positive learning environment. On the heels of such a valuable educational career I am looking forward to sharing this experience with potential colleagues, the parent community, administrations and children just beginning their journey of learning. I genuinely welcome and look forward to the opportunity to further discuss the enthusiasm I have for teaching and learning.
