Educational
Philosophy
and
Beliefs
The
social
aspects
of
learning
are
important
to
me.
They
play
a
critical
role
in
the
development
of
students.
Read-alouds
are
beneficial
for
all
ages
Learning
through
participation,
teaching
is
collaborative,
roles
of
student
and
teacher
are
flexible,
not
fixed
I
support
learning
for
understanding,
(learners
who
understand
more
about
their
own
learning
have
greater
capacity
to
transfer
their
learning
to
new
problems
and
contexts)
I
want
students
to
have
the
freedom
to
be
expressive
and
creative
in
the
classroom,
to
demonstrate
their
interests
and
their
opinions.
