Summary

As an elementary educator, I believe that knowing and valuing your students for who they are as individuals is vital to creating positive relationships. I strive to create an inclusive and safe classroom environment where students want to learn and understand that making mistakes is okay. Promoting a growth mindset helps students see mistakes as an opportunity for personal growth.
