My Core Teaching Principles 
Embrace Multiple Perspectives: Seek to understand diverse viewpoints and incorporate them into instruction. Why? To build empathy and respect as well as to develop ideas that are sensitive to the experiences of others
-
Content includes topics that inform students about other cultures, lifestyles, ways of thinking, and historical events
-
Foster Relationships: Foster relationships between myself and my students as well as among students. Why? To create a safe environment that encourages students to take risks and maximize their learning potential
Morning meeting routine that builds relationships between students and myself as well as among students
-
-
Advocate: Be a voice to support students' wellbeing including their academic, emotional, social, and physical needs. Why? Children need champions, and teachers are in a unique position to recognize and address students' varied needs
Utilize MTSS process to discuss student concerns with colleagues/administrators and define an action plan to move forward
Collaborate with students' families and other teachers a student may work with to ensure continuity of support
Express care toward students in all areas of their lives, not just their academic performance
Adapt: Embrace changing circumstances and adjust/implement practices based on new learning. Why? To best meet the needs of my students and prepare them for future success
-
-
-
Value Students' Autonomy: Encourage curiosity, choice, creativity, and independent thinking. Why? To help students discover a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom or an obligation
Teach relevant content that excites students and allows them to make connections with their prior knowledge
-
Provide choices in topics, products, and processes when completing activities in the classroom
Be a teacher leader: An educator whose empathy inspires action How? Strike a balance... be open minded to others' beliefs yet stay true to my core values; listen to understand yet be willing to speak up and DO something; invite and encourage others more so than directing them; be a bold risk taker AND be vulnerable enough to share setbacks along the way
Principle 1: Actions driven by values, goals, and empathy.
Respect and learn from others' perspectives, engage in professional development opportunities to help inform my own beliefs, and ultimately be guided by what I feel is best for my unique group of students at that particular time
Principle 2: Be inviting to others by listening, being vulnerable, and by acting a source of positive energy
Principle 3: Take risks - seek out new information, make changes to teaching practices, and share new learning (from successes & failures) with others
