Personal Teaching Philosophy:
Creating an authentic relevant learning environment that encourages students to take risks and work to their full potential becoming livelong learners.

This is accomplished through providing both students and teachers with feedback and feedforward to enhance their goal setting.

Personal Teaching Philosophy:
Every opportunity for every child everyday.
Due to the limitations placed on me during my own years of schooling, it is my belief that children should leave the classroom each day feeling they can be anything they want to be. Because of this the relationships I build with your tamariki are imperative to their success at school. My classrooms are a place of kindness, respect, humour and innovation designed to support tamariki as they each walk along their own learning pathway.
