It is extremely important for teachers to effectively and efficiently manage their classrooms with excellence, purpose and passion. When it comes to Special Education, teachers also have to cope with learning differences, disabilities, and basic problems that occur within a classroom on any given day.

My philosophies range from encouraging the student to do his/her best and making sure that the environment that I invite my students into remains to be healthy, happy and safe.
