Some of the Values that Shape My Work
My personal experience as a student and a mother established my desire for a great start for all children to become lifelong learners. My experiences afforded me an insight into the myriad of issues faced by teachers, children and parents and shaped my practice. My mission is to support teachers to value the unique strengths and needs of each individual student. Additionally, committed to working with families by developing a partnership role in their children’s learning and providing them with the tools to advocate in today’s challenging school system. Finally, I am driven to working with children to overcome the barriers that inhibit learning by unlocking each child’s emotional needs and learning potential. My role is to facilitate as well as collaborate in creating a meaningful developmentally appropriate curriculum for all children regardless of their race or socio-economic background in all school settings with the support of teachers and parents.
