GRADE 5 PYP TEACHER

Who I am as a teacher:

• “That which we are, we shall teach.” -R. W. Emerson
• “You can, I think, listen someone into existence.” -Mary Rose O’Reilley 
• I believe: 
  • Every student is strong, smart, brave, and capable. 
  • Meaningful learning occurs when students feel safe, and the light of their curiosity is lit. 
  • To be a teacher is to guide the emergence of their truest selves. 
• I use inquiry-based learning strategies whenever possible in my teaching. 
• I get to know each child individually and cultivate a relationship with them. 
• I emphasize helping my students develop goal-setting and metacognitive skills to explore their interests and discover themselves. 
• I want my students to finish the year with confidence in who they are, a meaningful understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, and a passionate curiosity about the world.
