Class Description:
I strive to create a warm, engaging, and faith-centered environment where students feel both challenged and supported. We focus on academic excellence while integrating biblical principles into our lessons, fostering a deeper understanding of both the world around us and our relationship with God. My goal is to help each student grow not only in knowledge but also in character, equipping them with the skills and values they need to succeed academically and spiritually.
Position:
Teacher-Lead-Coordinator
Needs:
Technology such as coding kits, 3D printers, and virtual reality tools would take learning to the next level. These resources would allow students to engage in hands-on, project-based learning that sparks creativity and critical thinking. A technology grant would help us introduce these innovative tools, making lessons more interactive and equipping students with advanced skills for the future.
My Philosophy:
As an educator, I believe that each child is a unique individual created in the image of God, with their own strengths, challenges, and potential. My primary goal is to create a nurturing and engaging learning environment where students feel valued, respected, and motivated to explore their interests and abilities. Buildingpositive relationships with my students is foundational to my teaching philosophy. By establishing trust and open communication, I create a safe space where students are encouraged to take risks, ask questions, and express their thoughts. I strive to understand their diverse backgrounds and learning styles, adapting my teaching methods to meet their needs. Incorporatingmy Christian perspective into my lessons is essential to my approach. I believe that education should not only focus on academic growth but also foster character development and spiritual growth. By weaving biblical principles into subjects like science and literature, I aim to help students connect their learning to their faith and values. I encourage students to see the world through a biblical lens, promoting virtues such as kindness, integrity, and perseverance. Myapproach to teaching emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning. I incorporate interactive activities, collaborative projects, and real-world applications to make learning relevant and meaningful. I also encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills, empowering students to become independent learners who can navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom. Assessmentis a vital component of my teaching. I utilize formative and summative assessments to gauge student understanding and adjust my instruction accordingly. I provide constructive feedback that highlights strengths and areas for growth, fostering a growth mindset in my students. Ultimately,my role as an educator is to inspire a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. I am committed to fostering an inclusive and dynamic classroom where every student feels empowered to reach their fullest potential, grounded in a faith that encourages them to serve others and pursue truth.
