I believe...
1. Struggle is a key component of growth and true learning—students should be guided through dealing with challenges & adversity
2. Students should feel safe, cared for, and respected by both peers and the teacher
3. Students’ challenges are also their greatest assets.
4. Teacher, parent, & student are a team that work together to make decisions on behalf of the student’s best interest.
5. Learning is a symbiotic relationship where student and teacher learn from one another.
6. Learning to problem solve & think critically is the ultimate goal of education.
