Passionate- I am truly passionate about educating and inspiring my students. I love being in the classroom, starting everyday in a positive way, and fostering a love of learning. If my students can leave school at the end of the day having learnt something that they are inspired to share with their families or friends, then that feeds my passion for what I do.
Open-minded- I believe each student is different and no two days are the same in the classroom. I am always open to changes in my plan for a lesson if it is not working as I planned, or if the students interests lead me in a slightly different direction.
Dedicated- I am a teacher who is invested in and dedicated to my students. If I don’t put 100% into my day, I can’t expect them to do the same! I am always working to ensure my teaching and learning environment is stimulating and motivating, working towards having a classroom of students who are just as enthusiastic about learning as I am about teaching them.
Compassionate- I am genuinely invested in the wellbeing of my students. I believe a positive learning environment is only possible when you have the trust and respect from your students, which comes from showing them that you respect and care about them.
Determined- I am always driven to become a better teacher and constantly learn from my students and mentor. I believe learning is a continuum and there is always an opportunity to better myself as a teacher.
Positive- I am a very positive person and I believe this shines through in my teaching. My positive attitude in the classroom rubs off on my students to create a happy and safe place!
