Objective: to obtain a position as an elementary education teacher interested in coaching cheerleading and fitness-related activities

Teaching Philosophy: I believe in educating the future by being culturally competent and embracing diversity of students. Students
receiving education by a highly qualified, dedicated teacher will allow them to grow cognitively, socially and emotionally. Using
technology within the 21st century classroom will expand learning opportunities knowing that every child learns differently.
Interacting with students within and out of the classroom will bridge the students’ trust in me as an educator and will create a
respectful community of learners. Once the trust is built, it is my motivation to explore a child’s thinking process to help them become
a successful individual that I know they can be by differentiating and accommodating the diverse learners while maintaining high
expectations for all students within the classroom.
