Teaching Philosophy

I believe that teaching holds the key to the future of our society. Successful strategies used whilst teaching play an important role in a child's understanding and development. The ability to develop an understanding of children and their needs is extremely important within the classroom environment.

In particularly I am interested in working with emotionally challenged children. I feel that children in these situations require additional attention and intervention as early as possible within their learning career. Support provided from caring and supportive adults who are qualified to do so can play an important and vital role in the child's future.
