Educational Philosophy
Education is a valuable resource that, once obtained, can never be taken from the learner. Regardless of where we as learners come from, we all have the opportunity to acquire an education and access to learning experiences. Learning can happen with the right supports and connections with students. Connecting and supporting students helps create an optimal learning environment and access to a great resource...a student's education.
