As a teacher, I believe it is my responsibility to make sure that every child who I work with, regardless of skills, background, or ability level, receives a quality education; as students learn in a wide variety of ways and have differing needs, this may look different for each student. I aim to teach all students the reading comprehension, writing, and math skills that they need to succeed in their educational career and in their future lives, as well as an appreciation for learning, whether it be about the Pythagorean theorem, ancient Egyptian pharaohs, or graphic novels; I believe that learning, in any context, is an essential lifelong skill that needs to be cultivated in any way possible. It is through learning how to learn that we learn important lessons about critical issues, the world around us, and, most importantly, ourselves.
