THE CHOICES YOU MAKE AFFECT THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE.

This quote hangs in our classroom and is a constant reminder that children deserve to make some of their own choices. Those choices make them responsible for their actions, behavior, and most importantly, their own learning. My instruction is designed to be relevant, engaging, and enjoyable while focusing on high, but realistic standards that hold students accountable.

 

"Teach the young people how to think, not what  to think."  ~Sidney Sugarman

 

"Don't tell them how to do it, show them how to do it and don't say a word.  If you tell them, they'll watch your lips move.  If you show them, they'll want to do it themselves..."   ~Marie Montessori

 

"The pupil who is never required to do what he cannot do, never does what he can do."    ~John Stuart Mill
